Idyllwild had been on my radar for YEARS, but since we moved to a mountain town a few years ago I didn’t feel the need to visit until we moved back to the city. We made a nice little Thanksgiving getaway out of it and WOW, I definitely regret not going sooner! Idyllwild California 🌲 2+hr drive

Super easy California rolls
These are so much easier than people think to make at home. My 8 year old and 4 year old make these all the time and have so much fun doing it! Then we get to enjoy them together and it makes a great time. All you need is: •Nori sheets •Sushi rice •Sesame seeds (everything but the bagel works)
