This Memorial Day weekend, we got away from it all in Mammoth Lakes, CA with my god sister, (who is basically my other big sister) and some great friends on her family ranch .  We usually go with both sets of parents, but this time, we did a kids weekend.  This place is a slice of heaven on earth.  There is no electricity, only a generator and gas lamps, enabling us to unplug from it all and really enjoy each other’s company.  Everybody contributed to groceries and we watched sunsets with beers, and cooked dinner together every night.  There was some amazing weather that rolled through including thunder, lighting, hail and plenty of sunshine in between.  We brought our dogs and they loved it so much didn’t want to leave!  It was the perfect little vacation before I start my new job at Stitch Fix at the end of this week.  Now its back to reality with a renewed appreciation for the simple things that make me happy.
