Earlier this week my sister in law Jordan and her family moved home from Paris! Hooray! Currently they are crashing with us while they finalize their apartment plans and it’s been a none stop cousin party ever since. We are actually taking off later this weekend to head to Utah for a week or so, but I have some really fun posts planned to share with you all this coming week. You’ll love it! Up to anything fun? Here are some links to explore and blog housekeeping:

Yosemite Camping

Last week we took a spontaneous four day camping trip to Yosemite. Things were just getting busy but we still got camping spots, day of, in the valley the first two nights. The third night we were getting sick of the crowds and drove right outside the park where we found dispersed camping next to a gorgeous stream (image above). It was hot too! A welcome change from the consistently cool coastal weather here in San Francisco.

Weekend Roundup

Any fun plans this weekend? My mother has been in town all week which has been really nice while Henry has had a spring break from preschool.  We’ve  helped paint a mural at Henry’s school and went to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at the De Young (which was incredible!). We’ve also taken advantage of the babysitting and caught up on movies, gone out to eat, cruised around on the scooter, etc. It’s been a great week! Hope you’re up to something fun, here are a few links to explore:
