Marin fashionistas who like hip and modern clothing design but don't revel in the thought of spending a fortune on their wardrobe will be pleased to learn that the progressive European-based retailer H&M is coming to Marin.

H&M has selected the new Northgate Mall in San Rafael as its desired location for its Marin-based store.   The mall is currently undergoing a major $75 million rennovation and H&M will clearly function as an "anchor tenant" at the mall which will attract consumers from across Marin County.   This new store will serve as the first H&M store in Marin and will undoubtedly be a popular destination for consumers of all ages.

It can be quite difficult to find things to do indoors so I have decided to give a little guidance to other parents who have the same question! Below are some of my favorite things.........

Kids Gymnastics in Marin

San Rafael Gymnastics on Saturdays from 9:30 to 10:30 you can pay $10 per child to run, jump, balance, swing, climb, dance, and many more things that only a child could think of doing.

Park your car in the parking lot near the public Miwok Stables and Livery but get there early on the weekends or you may have a hard time finding parking.

If you are hiking with small…
