Jenna here.
I’m a mom of 3 kids, 7 and under. And this is the podcast I wish had years ago, to find places to go with my family, that I knew with certainty, would be fun and family friendly.

So, Don and I created the podcast that does exactly that!

Come hang out with us over at Rogue Ranger Radio, where we recently spoke with Superintendent Lauren Shoemaker from Auburn State Recreation Area- she gave us the low down on where (and when) to take the kids when visiting .

Drop a like if you enjoyed this!
