We traveled to Yosemite recently — a couple days in April that were mild on the Monterey Peninsula, downright hot in inland California, and still quite chilly in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Chilly enough to have snowfall and closed roads. After fishing out our cold weather gear that we never used in Monterey, we packedContinue reading “Yosemite – (mostly) Black and White”

The girls have been doing a daily page each day that includes some math, copy work, daily calculations, etc. They’ve also been filling out a state page for each state we go through.
