And
Here’s the Smith Family Itinerary for Memorial Day Weekend:
Friday Night
Represent Family Adventure Guidebooks preview event for the new Elephant Odyssey exhibit at the San Diego Zoo. I’m so excited to be invited, and the best news is I get to bring the whole family! I sure hope those preschoolers behave themselves. My son is a little disappointed that we won’t be sleeping over at Mataguay on friday night, but I’m hoping that a close encounter with an exotic animal will cheer him up. I’m also glad for an extra night in my own bed!
Saturday
We will leave for Cub Scout Camp Mataguay at the crack of dawn. Mataguay is located near Julian in San Diego county. We plan to get really dirty, canoe, fish, look for lady bugs, climb rocks, and just have a generally wonderful time. The kids will just generally run amok like wild animals from dawn until dusk. Hope we will get some sleep after the campfire on Saturday night.
My kids love Camp Mataguay. Our trip last year was one of the best family adventures ever! The kids love the freedom of climbing on boulders, exploring new trails, and catching fish. Here are some of my favorite pictures from our 2008 camping adventure.

Sunday
The big Boy Scouts and Venturers will make us a pancake breakfast. We’ll attend a sweet ecumenical morning prayer service. I hope that Jutin can squeeze in a little more fishing and fun before heading home.
Thanks for Bringing Us Mom! Mataguay, 2008

Sounds like a fun weekend!
Wow, sounds like you have a fabulous weekend planned. Nothing like a whole lot of outdoor fun and exploring. Ahhh, see I didn’t realise it was a scout camp I just thought he was really excited to be camping with the fam
. He’ll be fine though, he’ll have a great time tonight. See you there.
HOW FUN! thanks so much for sharing!
I can’t wait to see Elephant Odyssey. I am going in a couple weeks. I sre it will be a pack of madness but it looks like it will be so cool!
Hope you have fun at the San Diego zoo – they invited me but it was a long way to go from the other side of the Atlantic – we have a great zoo in Bristol though
Sounds like a great weekend to me – especially the elephants part. Have a great time!
What a great weekend ahead. I’ve got a post about our Guatemalan Zoo expereince, but it’s sooooo nothing compared to the San Diego Zoo!!!
Have a great time, looking forward to reading all about it!
Have a great weekend. I’m sure you’ll have great weather. Looking forward to the pics…
Sounds like a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
We are use to doing our Memorial Day’s by our selves in Europe.
Our first year it was in Venice at the beach, last year in Portugal and this year we will be in Spain about ready to take off for another 7 months of travel.
Enjoy!
Sounds like a perfect summer kick-off! Enjoy!
I’m glad summer is here so we can all enjoy some of our favorite adventures like this!
