MamaMia travel show with kids in California. Limited vs Unlimited budget

Mama Mia Hey guys, this is another episode of Mama Mia and today we're having Dasha and Irina Hi guys. Yeah, we are in South Salita and today we're gonna have $50 an unlimited budget for spending a day with a kid like as usually a single parent no matter why single and Two different ways how to spend a day with a bunch of money and without money. Yeah, it's exciting We have two writing tablets or one tablet with $50 and one with unlimited budget and now we're gonna decide Okay, Irina one more time. Which color is yours? Pink Okay, take it Here we are And I hope we have the same Okay, so do you have any plans yes, I already have a small plan we're gonna start with the very Discovery Museum. That's our favorite museum here close by and Let's see. Let's see. I'm excited. I think we're going just to Mir Woods So let's see each other in the evening and see how it goes. Yeah Mir Woods is truly a natural treasure just waiting to be explored to get there You can either take a shuttle for $3.75 or drive there yourself However, if you decide to drive don't forget to reserve a parking spot in advance as they can be limited Once you are there, you'll be surrounded by an impressive collection of coast redwood trees including sequoias that are over 1,000 years old. These magnificent trees can reach heights of over 350 feet I can tell we're gonna have a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city Or maybe not At the entrance of the park they offer a free stroller for children However, it has turned out to be a disaster for me My daughter Mia was more interested in the stroller than in the park itself We tried different poses Putting her in the stroller and pushing her from behind, but she wasn't interested in anything else I can already tell it's going to be a challenging day for me So I took my backpack with me There is everything So we took everything in our backpack there is water, milk, some food I'm gonna show you later Diapers of course for me if I'm gonna get scared I feel overwhelmed and overloaded. Wish me luck We started our day super smooth I know that we go into Discovery Museum and I love that place because the parking is for free It was quite a bit windy, but it's San Francisco and I knew that in advance So we dress up super warm and we started our day super smooth Our first stop is as usual the indoor place that has the train rail This is a perfect spot for me because Irina can play there by herself. But of course something happened Irina is very shy baby sometimes and if someone will take something away from her she can just like Watch and observe and that's the time when I need to get back in the spot and deal with that Okay, the problem is finally solved We build a huge train and I can sit down again and chill Never mind We went fishing together, on a boat together, searching for animals together In discovering the kitchen together And everything was together no matter what you always needed mommy Mommy My mommy's battery was almost empty already, but what she was asking me for more I was almost out of battery and with such a huge park almost everything seemed like a toy. Me and I climbed a tree And ran across a bridge several times I felt sleepy due to the fresh air and peaceful green atmosphere, but Mia seemed quite awake I don't know about her, but I'm pretty tired. I need a nap Do you want to sleep baby? Long trails and beautiful views are not for us today. Instead we found ourselves in a cave at a tree Okay, this is affordable one bedroom in California Okay, let's go As a movie director I know how to direct Actors but have no idea how to make my kid Change the play and have her first hike at the best recreational area in Marin County I was hoping for an easy Sunday getaway, but it turned out to be a fitness program for me I had to lift my baby, entertain her and keep her out of trouble and damage I gave up on walking and exploring the park and focused on Mia's needs It seemed like a good strategy that worked out I couldn't find a private place or a bench to breastfeed and had to do it wherever I could I had to change locations often because everything in the park seemed like a photo zone Mia was so adorable that I forgot I was mad and tired I was filled with love and joy and mere woods truly became a peaceful and relaxing place for me On the way to the car I was thinking that maybe I choose the wrong place for a kid I had only good intentions of giving her fresh air and a green area However, it wasn't what I expected from my kid and I had created the wrong expectations But it's okay, let's move on. I deserved some food And I wish we would have a nap time But guess what? Of course we didn't because Irina kept wanting to play and play We play music. You can see my very very exhausted by that moment face For our kids, we always put the mask on and we keep having fun with them. Even if it's it's not fun for us If you look at this video right now and you think that it's all perfect all the time. We keep having fun We're always smiling. We never have any issues. It's absolutely not true. And guess what happened? Of course, she got super excited We'll be back on the video it took me like five seconds to dry her clothes after the accident But overall it took me 20 minutes since we had to go back to the car and get an extra clothes after this 20 minutes of dealing with her accident. I got so tired. So we decided to go on one of the last spots there It's a nice area outside and that was the time when I finally got a chance to sit down a little bit Well, she was finally playing by herself honestly, I Actually really like that museum because it gives a lot of opportunities for parents and kids to play together to explore a lot of things it's another great way to spend the whole day as a family and one place and Kids are actually can learn and discover a lot of stuff there That's why it was my choice to go there because every time when we have a free day We try to that place and she kept playing until she finally got hungry French fries, are you hungry? I'm sorry, but we are going to have pizza first we stopped by a cozy Italian restaurant in South Alita and Despite going over my budget limit. I ordered a glass of wine to help relieve my stress of course The pizza was delicious, but unfortunately Mia was too engrossed in her cartoons to even take a bite. I had no idea how to interrupt her The good advice Never disturb your kid if they play by themselves first It's a great time for yourself. You can do whatever you need to do like poop clean a little bit and Another thing is that's the time when they use their imagination. That's the time when they play by themselves. They use their like they communicate with other kids or if they play by themselves, they actually Imagine and that's how they develop themselves Let's go look for pizza Remember no matter how much money you have your kids will always ask for pizza or french fries Irina has a very good appetite. So as soon as we got to the restaurant She was able to find out what she's gonna eat and order it and she actually was trying to feed me with the air Waiting for our pizza so we end up ordering actually three different pizzas and we knew that we're gonna have a very interesting project coming up and We needed to eat very good We decided to get a little treat for Irina and you never can be wrong if you offer her an ice cream This is the oldest ice cream shop in Sausalitos I was so excited to go there and try different flavors of ice cream But Irina, of course decided to get just a plain vanilla. That's her favorite Leave your phone at home and spend a day on the playground with your child And that's gonna make you guys happy and like you don't need money Even if you don't have money, you know, you don't need them You can have fun with your kid and the kid will bring you that emotions that are payless I hear you Dasha. It's a good advice. Do what your kid wants to do and you don't need a lot of money for this Actually, we're out of budget So our next and last place for today is a playground next to the restaurant Mia is so happy. At first I played with her everywhere We slide together, swing and explore the place with fun. In a while she did it on her own It's so funny. I planned my trip to Mirwood so carefully and wisely, but she didn't enjoyed it I didn't plan to go to this playground. I found it occasionally and look at this it made our day With the limited budget at Mamma Mia, I decided to pick something special and unique as a professional swimmer in the past as a World Masters champion. I always wanted my kids to know how to swim since they're young and As of right now, my daughter is three years old and she knows how to swim already because we started from birth and since she's super comfortable in the water and She loves swimming. I decided to Do something unique and it's going to be an underwater video shooting We're gonna take underwater pictures and videos of her swimming. I hope We will have a lot of fun because she loves water I love water and we want to have it, you know live in our memories I started scuba diving and Was blown away with the beauty of underwater world. So I started taking pictures of fish and gradually, I moved to taking pictures of divers and then I moved on to taking pictures of people underwater. I love working with kids. Kids don't think much They just want to have fun and I'm having fun with them They don't think about how they look, how their hair is, how their makeup works. They just jump in and we Ready? Go! It Was an amazing experience for us It's absolutely worth of money. However, it was stressful at the beginning It was absolutely not easy to do but it was a very great challenge for us And Wow, it was very interesting day definitely full of different activities and emotions We absolutely happy we had our absolute fun But we are exhausted at the same time and now we're gonna meet Katya and Mia to see how was their day And we're so excited to see what they do Ended up with the ice cream So, what did you do today? Oh, we went to Discovery Museum and we did a nice walk around we saw the Golden Gate Bridge that was so pretty and Arina decided that she wanted to eat pizza, of course kids favorite, right? That's funny we had pizza as well. Oh Yeah, good, I guess it's like kids favorite, right? Yeah, we went to near woods Oh, but we didn't have fun since she was sleeping. So she had to nap and we went to playground That's it. So I decided not to lie myself Well, we just had fun on the playground. So guys, thank you so much for coming to Mamma Mia Thank you so much. High five Bye
