Wow! What a week!! We started last weekend in Petaluma, CA with Sam’s family watching General Conference. We finished up the shelving project for our upper cabinets, and then headed out on Monday over to Skyline Wilderness Regional Park in Napa, CA and had some more cousin time. Tuesday afternoon we met up with Heather & Jeff of adventureswithaudrey.com for some hiking and sorbets. So fun to meet some new friends!! After a little grocery shopping, and a drive over the Sierra Nevada Mountains we hung out with Sam’s aunt in Reno on Wednesday evening before pushing all the way across Nevada on Thursday (boring!). We found a sweet boondocking spot near the Bonneville Speedway for Thursday night, took some epic photos, and then made it to our house in Lehi Friday afternoon.

Like I said, What a week! More on re-entry, our plans, and details, details, and more details next week!

This week was spent between Clovis, CA and Mountain View, CA. It was fabulous. We went to a trampoline jump place in Clovis with our friends and the kids had a blast! Okay, not just the kids. We did too. Sam and I were both extremely sore the next day. We crafted, watched movies, ate yummy food, and generally enjoyed strengthening our friendships. After that we spent one night in Pinnacles National Park (no internet or cell coverage and well, Sam has to work), then New Brighton State Beach with a trips to downtown Santa Cruz for more books, and out to Natural Bridge State Park for tide pooling. We are currently in an RV Park (probably the most sketchy we’ve stayed at yet) in Mountain View to visit with friends. We toured the Googleplex (Go Android!), and spent some time at a local organic farm. Such a peaceful and relaxing afternoon!

Today we head up to the North Bay to see family! They are on Spring Break next week, so I’ve officially declared it our break as well. We plan to visit Ghiradelli Square in San Francisco, earn some Jr. Ranger Badges, camp out at the coast, and play with cousins my kids haven’t seen in over a year. We are excited!

We ultimately decided to postpone Cara’s potty training. It was a rough decision, but after two weeks and everyone miserable it was for the best. That decision made, we set about exploring more of San Diego this last week with visits to the Mormon Battalion Museum, San Diego Zoo, USS Midway Museum, and San Diego Safari Park. Too tired on Thursday to explore, we spent the day running errands, doing laundry, catching up on school workbooks, and then a drive in movie that evening to see the Lego Movie! So fun. Friday morning we packed up the Airstream, said goodbye to San Diego and drove north to a beautiful beach-side campground near Point Mugu State Beach. Going to sleep to the sound of waves crashing against the shore is extremely therapeutic.

Continuing north this week up Highway 1. We are excited for the drive!

San Diego is beautiful! Although staying in an RV Park is definitely not our first choice, we are close to the city and all it has to offer. However, between finishing off potty training Cara and the torrential downpour the last few days, I feel like we haven’t been able to see much. Yet. But then I look back at where we have been this week and I suppose we are doing all right. Highlights include an Organ Recital at Balboa Park, BYU Ballet, earning a Jr. Ranger Badge at Cabrillo National Monument, visiting the San Diego LDS temple, the downtown library, and the Science Museum. We have another week here to cram in everything we haven’t been able to do yet. We are excited for a busy, dry week!

This week has been slow & relaxed and we’ve LOVED it! We spent the weekend with family in Riverside, CA and then headed out to Casper’s Wilderness Park just south of LA. We needed to get away from the city, get caught up on work school. Done, done, and done. We’ve also started to finish potty-training Cara and the poor girl has been pantsless in the Airstream for 4 days. Not much success so far, but we are pretty determined this time around. We’ve also arrived in San Diego and are staying at an RV park in the city. Not the best views, but the beach, the zoo, Sea World, science museums and other fun activities are all under 30 minutes away. Can’t beat that.
