Patrick and Isis went to the Strawberry Music Festival over Labor Day weekend while Ambrose and I stayed home. Strawberry is a bluegrass festival set in the woods outside of Yosemite, at Camp Mather. The festival itself went from Wednesday last week to Sunday, but they just went for the weekend and camped there as [...]

In addition to meticulously planning our itinerary, we also very carefully planned meals/snacks. Ever since I was a trip-leader at Sanborn Western Camps, I have really enjoyed elaborate meal planning for trips. At Sanborn, we’d [...]
