Back from a beachy AND snowy spring break in California! We spent the week exploring San Fransisco, Yosemite National Park, Santa Cruz, and Half Moon Bay. Yosemite was arguably more magnificent covered in snow. Plus, no crowds! While we didn't get to do too much hiking, we enjoyed the sites and time spent with friends. Thank goodness for a hot tub and pool table!
National parks hold a special place in our family's hearts. They offer opportunities for exploration, connection with nature, and a chance to appreciate the beauty of our planet. They are a source of wonder and a reminder of the importance of conservation and preservation for future generations. I cannot believe we are having to defend places like these right now. But here we are. Make your voices known. Protect our parks!
Now, for a few links:
+ I was deeply moved by Cory Booker's 25 hour stand-in. Highly recommend the documentary, Street Fight, which follows his path to becoming mayor of Newark.
+ Stoop coffee, what a great and simple idea!
+ What's your community style?
+ A must listen conversation on parenting in the age of phones, tech, and social media.
+ This looks delish.
+ This song was on repeat during our spring break travels.
