Heading to Liberty Station? This is a full list of Liberty Station Restaurants and Activities for Kids when visiting the area!

Liberty Station in Point Loma (on Historic Decatur Road) is a true San Diego gem.  This stunning property was originally a Naval Training Center (first open to recruits in 1923).  It was in use by the Navy until 1997, and in 2000 became property of the City of San Diego.  Today? Liberty Station is filled with art spaces, museums, outdoor spaces and some of the best dining options in the city of San Diego. Liberty Station Restaurants are some of our absolute favorites in the city, and I'm excited to share a full guide to our top Liberty Station spots for families.

Liberty Station Restaurants and Activities for Kids

Liberty Station has plenty to do, and enough to fill a full day trip.  You can walk to the water to see the ships, explore the murals and art around the property, picnic on the grass, and wander from building to building.  There are also fun outdoor installations (be sure to look for the big wooden ship it's a ton of fun to play in).  We usually head to the area around 10, put our name in for Brunch (expecting a wait), grab coffee and wander through all the stores until our table comes up.  After brunch we visit the Hot Spot, then grab a treat to go and head home!

Moniker General: Moniker is on my list of the best coffee shops in San Diego, and for good reason.  Amazing coffee (recommend the lavendar latte) for the grown ups and some of the best pastries and hot chocolate for the kids? Add in some really great outdoor seating areas.  You can grab some treats, and hang out with them in an area that is perfect for kids to play.  Bonus? There's a really cool mural on the back wall!

Pigment: This awesome home store has a few locations around San Diego, but the Liberty Station one is my favorite.  Want a hands on activity that you'll be happy to take home? Plant your own mini succulent garden  (they’ll pack it up so you can carry it easily for the rest of the day)!

Breakfast Republic: Looking for the perfect Liberty Station Restaurants option for breakfast?  Breakfast Republic is a must visit for the BEST fun pancakes (Lydia loved the Oreo pancakes) and try a spicy bloody mary for the grownups (they're AMAZING).

The Hot Spot: Got an artist on your hands? Try painting a ceramic masterpiece at The Hot Spot.  This studio is a ton of fun, you'll select and paint your favorite piece.  They will glaze it for you, fire it, and you can pick it up a few days later.  They also have soap making.

Corvette Diner: Looking for a unique and fun family dining experience? Corvette Diner is the cutest 50s theme spot.  The decor is perfect, the staff is fabulous, and trust me…..your kids will love the milkshakes.  Bonus? They have a great arcade.  It's definitely Lydia's favorite of all the Liberty Station Restaurants!

Have you visited Liberty Station? Which of the Liberty Station Restaurants and Activities for Kids are you favorites?

🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
✨ Recent Microjoys: the….it’s starting to fe ✨ Recent Microjoys: the….it’s starting to feel like Fall edition ✨- running is a lot nicer when it’s 70 degrees- pumpkins have officially made their appearance at Trader Joe’s- Ube Lattes : a seriously stellar local find- planning makes my heart happy (once a lesson planning teacher, always a lesson planning teacher )- made it to Legoland for Brick or Treat (I’ll share more about this tomorrow) but this photo needed it’s moment - baked potatoes for dinner - Disneyland plans loading….lots of them (it’s been awhile): Oogie Boogie Bash, a friend date, and a couple fun trips…….all within the next week or two"Microjoys are a practice of uncovering joy and finding hope at any moment. They are accessible to everyone, despite all else. When we hone the ability to look for them, they are always available. Microjoys are the hidden wisdom, long-ago memories, subtle treasures, and ordinary delights that surround us” - Cyndie Spiegel (highly recommend her book about microjoys)#mondaymicrojoys (feel free to use the hashtag to share what’s making YOU smile or giving you a little glimmer of happiness)
