I can hardly wait! The school year is wrapping up and the only thing that is helping me get through the stress of May is the thought of June and our upcoming summer vacation! My students are in the thick of the count down – June 14th is their last day. I am in the …
My husband and I just enjoyed a few days of fun and relaxation all while exploring the beautiful city of San Francisco. If you follow me on Instagram you saw some of the delicious food and drinks that we enjoyed. San Francisco is only 90 minutes from our home – so we get up there …
