About Us

I'm a SAHM of 2 boys, but we rarely "stay at home". They have sooo much energy that we HAVE to get outside to burn it off. Everyday is an adventure; whether we find new places, go back to our favorites or even just a trip to Costco!  

[Disclaimers:

There is an inherent risk of being exposed to or contracting Covid-19 or other viral diseases anywhere people are present. Know and follow your local, state, governments or specific venues' health and safety protocols when you go out in public. I make no claims that any place I share about on here is safe. Attend at your own risk.

I make a good faith effort to ensure information is accurate, but I encourage you to confirm the details before you act on it. Fam Diego is not responsible for any problems with health, safety or otherwise that may result directly or indirectly from your or your families' participation in these activities from using this information or while you're at the venues. If your venue is featured here and you would like for me to change anything or to be removed, please contact me right away.
