It's our final week here in California's beautiful Yosemite Gold Country, and though we've been exploring the region for a month now, we still feel like we've only scratched the surface of what this area has to offer. We've been traveling non-stop for 8 months now, and we're looking forward to visiting Point Reyes National Seashore in Marin County, our next National Park on our Big Blend Spirit of America Tour of all 401 national park units!

In this issue we feature the wonder of Yosemite National Park in Winter; how pop artists Jim Dine and Robert Indiana used the symbols of love in their work; how parents can help their children incorporate music into their lives; the fascinating connections US Presidents have with their English families; and Chef Ivan Flower's romantic trumpet mushroom recipe - it's perfect for Valentine's Day!
