Today I am continuing with a recap of our family’s recent trip to Northern California. After 3 nights in San Francisco, we rented a camper van (more details on that later) and drove 4 hours to Yosemite National Park. Yosemite is the fourth national park we have stayed at in the past few years. It seems to us that to really get to know a park, there is nothing better than living there for a few days. That experience is completely different than driving… Read more »
Today I thought I would recap the San Francisco portion of our family’s California trip. This vacation was a jam-packed week and a half of city sightseeing mixed with outdoor exploring and adventure. Not one we will soon forget. Brian and I actually honeymooned in this part of California back in 2000, but haven’t been back since. It was fun to get to experience it again but as a family of four this time! Since this was the first time the… Read more »

The park exceeded our expectations, and we learned a ton about the past, present and… Read more »
We recently installed a Little Free Library at the park by our house. Have you heard of this movement? It’s a free book exchange you can place at your home or neighborhood. It usually looks like some sort of little house or wooden box on a post. However, if you look on the Internet, you will see that the libraries can take many shapes and sizes. The way it works is that you bring a book you have already read, and exchange it for… Read more »
