Traveling with Kids | A Day Trip to Guerneville, CA

11.24.15
A few weeks ago, boys had Veteran’s Day off from school. It was on the middle of the week and we had no plans other than veggie at home. We decided to drive up to Guerneville up in Sonoma County for a little day trip, outing by Russian River. It turned out to be the most relaxing enjoyable family time we had. Here is a quick recap and few recommendations. It’s such a cute quaint town to visit for a day trip or on a weekend. We are excited about going back in Spring/Summer time!

 

 

 

 

 

Big Bottom Market – A small market/café with yummy salad and sandwiches to pack to go on a picnic by the river. Walking distance to Johnson’s Beach. (Main St.)
Boon Eat & Drink Café – A small Californian bistro with fresh seasonal ingredients. Good for brunch and early dinner! (Main St.)
Guerneville Bank Club – Old bank turned into ice cream parlor and pie shop. Get a scoop on little history in the gallery, a photo zone in the vault, a scoop of handmade ice cream and pie.
Commerce Fine Goods – Inside Guerneville Bank Club, find small fine goods store with handmade items from local artisans. A must visit when in Guerneville.
Johnson’s Beach by Russian River – It’s not the sandy beach you’re thinking of. It’s a quiet river side beach where you can skip rocks, feed the ducks and have a nice afternoon picnic.
Armstrong Redwood National Forest – Nice redwood hiking trails and picnic area. Only 5 min drive away from Main St.

First Annual Online Yard Sale

11.13.15
Hi Friends! I’m really excited to host my very first online yard sale over at my instagram account skycreatives_yardsale! I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time and happy that I finally got around to it. I’m sure you’ve heard of this book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo”. I haven’t read this book yet but I’ve heard so much about it. I’d like to think that I am an organized person but when it comes to things around the house, I am not very tidy and especially sharing space with kids, there can be piles of clutters always forming in just about every corner. I realized you can not declutter without letting go of your old things so I hope this is a good start for me! I’m hoping some of my old treasures will become someone else’s new treasure. Here is how the Instagram online yard sale will work. Please read instructions below.
