I randomly had the weekend off this past weekend and we thought, you know what, let's go camping.  We checked some sites all around us and they were all booked.  (I think because the weather is incredible down here right now.)  So I thought, what about Joshua Tree?  We haven't ever been there and thought that we would just go check it out! Once we got there we went straight for the visitor center to get a site...well that was booked too.  And in that moment we decided to check out a couple other sites near by.  Turns out there is the huge amount land that is F R E E camping!  Although that means...no bathrooms...and no water access...so we went for it! I honestly think that free camping is the most fun.  We were pretty much surrounded by nature.  No people and not much noise.  It was soooo nice ...

It's that time of year again where the family all goes up north to Sebastopol for wine making.  It was soooo beautiful up there.  It just looks like Fall up there...except for the weather.  It gets so hot during the day and freezing during the evening so it is very hard to adjust. We drank wine, went in the hot tub, picked apples, camped and ate food! It's always so nice to just get away for a couple days to relax and reconnect with friends and family. I hope you all had a great weekend! xoxox C
