Chasing Warm Weekends

Who are we?

We’re a family of five who believe the best memories are made outside — preferably in the sunshine.

Based in chilly Minnesota, we spend as much of the winter as we can; chasing warm weekends: trading heavy coats for beach days, desert hikes, and outdoor adventures that feel like a reset. Our trips are built around long weekends and school breaks, with a focus on destinations that offer both adventure and ease for families.

Chasing Warm Weekends was created to help families plan memorable, warm-weather escapes without unnecessary stress. Here, you’ll find thoughtfully planned itineraries, family-friendly guides, and practical tips for making the most of a short trip — whether that means hiking scenic trails, spending full days by the water, or finding accommodations that actually work for traveling with kids.
