Grab & Go Kids Planner

The Grab & Go Kids Planner is your weekly guide to kid-friendly activities out and about town.

Each week, we'll give you info on the five best family activities or events for the week.

This week as the fabulous warm winter weather continues, you and your kids can spend Saturday with some flyboys or with the boys of summer in celebrations of the Navy and the San Diego Padres.

Look for the kids planner each Wednesday, and help us build it with your own suggestions and tips—just add them to the comment box. Even if you disagree with our picks, let us know. We want to hear from you!
