Last week, we got away on a last minute road trip to Mendocino for Spring Break. Fresh air and organic food that kept my mind, body and spirit happy.

At the end of our 1/2 mile turned almost 5 mile hike to the Russian Gulch. Amazingly the boy walked most of the way with a short carry on strong shoulders (not mine!).

Winding down Highway 128 at 35-50 miles an hour with an iPhone while snapping these out of the car window (while trying not to get motion sick).

Turns out that the boy could actually hold a pretty good tune on the Marimba. There were some pretty cool instruments in the store.
