(These 3 shots above are in Petaluma) We went to SF this past weekend and spent just a few days reminiscing our old fave spots and hanging out with friends. I think 'Palace of the Fine Arts' HAS to be one of my fave places in SF.  It has so much beauty and history and I could honestly just take picture after picture and stare at it all day every day. I have been feeling very down lately and a little uninspired...so I thought why not take breaks every now and again and just drive somewhere cool or travel somewhere different.  I like the idea of this because it keeps me on my toes.  I always have something new to look forward to. I have also been using my ' Happy Planner ' a lot which keeps me focused and organized and it's a really nice breath of fresh air when my life is a little crazy because I can just sit down with all my stickers, pens and washi tape and just C R E A T E! Do...

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 ...
