Sabrina's Weekend Snapshots

Music was always around the house growing up and I've always loved to sing. It's a family past-time - our dad has spent his retirement learning how to play various bluegrass instruments. I even sang a blue grass-inspired version of Dream a Little Dream for the first dance at Eunice's wedding with my former roommate. When I was in college I formed a singing group with 4 other women (one who happened to be the same roommate). They became great friends and we've recently started getting together yearly for a weekend to sing. This past weekend we got together for a weekend in New Hope, PA to sing some old songs and learn some new ones. Our little house had a great front porch where we spent lots of time just hanging out. We even recorded one of our songs as a memento of the weekend!

We spent a little bit time exploring New Hope and stumbled upon a local auto show.

It's always hard to say goodbye to my dear friends but next year will bring more great memories!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

This past weekend my family and I took a trip down to Carmel Valley to spend some time on the beach. It's truly a remarkable place and quickly becoming a favorite family destination. Only a short drive from San Francisco, Carmel's roaring landscape and sweet sandy beach makes traveling with kids easy and fun. I snapped this photo of the lavender fields in full bloom on our way down.

The view is breathtaking and we had perfect weather, as usual in Carmel!

Taking our boys to the beach can be messy! Alex enjoyed a long bubble bath after a long day outside.

It was hard to leave such a lovely place. Clearly James felt the same way but we'll be back often.

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

This weekend we enjoyed the sunshine by spending lots of time outside. The Yerba Buena Gardens are a delightful place to hang out on a sunny day. There's tons of fun things to do with kids or adults, but one of our favorites is to ride the Charles Looff Carousel.

 We went to the Farmers Market at the Ferry Building on Saturday and picked up some of our favorite snacks - peas!

 The market was bustling with visitors and bursting with fresh produce and fruit. I loved how the colors of these carrots blended together so I had to snap a picture.

After the market we rode the ferry to Sausalito. It was the perfect way to wind down after such a busy morning and the boys loved being on board the big boat.

Hope you all had a nice weekend!
