I had purchased a livingsocial deal for a hotel stay in Yosemite. We decided to use this past weekend.
It was a lovely, lovely vacation. Beautiful trails, very few people since it was off season. Perfect sunny weather.
We did 3 hikes. 2 to see the waterfalls and one to the giant sequoia trees.
The Fallen Monarch
It was a really relaxing vacation.

I haven’t been out thrifting in 3 weeks. So no Monday Moneysavers for a while.
Here’s a quick money saver for you loyal readers though. Just in case you need some clothes for the trekking or even just some stylish clothes for you or your kids, click here.
PS: I am debating driving with all 4 kids by myself cross country to New Hampshire. I am plotting the route and will most likely travel through the southern part of the country versus the north to avoid snow. Yes I am crazy.





Cross country driving with the kids …. nice !! Good luck … do not overstress yourself … get ample rest / breaks to re-energise yourself.
I would LOVE to do a cross country trip like that. Although, I don’t know about doing that by myself… with 4 kids in tow.
I’m sure it’ll be fun though.
i am sure you will have fun! the cross country drives are awesome. we did one there and one here and while in hind-sight it was clear madness, it was fun too!
Come see ME in Tennessee!!!! (from BIO)
You should make a stop in SoCal. =)
