Being middle aged means having a favorite market? This is my quick one-stop-shop for groceries. Appreciate that they stock fresh veggies and plenty of vegetarian and vegan items. Also well stocked in the beer and liquor department.

Family friendly spots

Idyllwild town and nearby parks are super kid friendly. Restaurants are casual and welcoming. Check out the Nature Center or Idyllwild Regional Park for family-friendly walks and nature. These are also great places to play in snow during winter. In terms of trails, I recommend Ernie Maxwell. Note that many trails are steep with high altitudes so think twice before you take little ones up.
