Top 5 Activities in San Marcos-Vista

Free & Low Cost

By Zulema G San Marcos-Vista Macaroni Kid August 3, 2018

We are now two weeks away from the start of the school year folks! I don't know about you but no matter how much I do with my boys over the summer, I still get mom guilt over how much more I could have done to make THIS season really count. Could I have read more with my 7 year old? Sure. Were there days where I was more about work than play? Definitely. Still, we had an amazing summer. We took a road trip to Utah, spent quality time in Mexico, moved here to Vista, we had days at the beach, in the pool, or on the couch with family. Overall I think this summer was a mom win! I am also grateful to still have a little bit more time to play before the busyness of the school year kicks in. The following are a few highlights for the next few days in San Marcos and Vista for babies, kids, and teens.
