This coming Friday, we leave for California for 10 days. I am very excited about the trip-we will see a lot of the northern half of this gi-nourmous state, traveling from San Francisco up to Yreka (I just love saying that) to see my pal Holly and hopefully my other pal Heather, then down to Fairfield to stay with my brother and his wife and two darling children, then down to Monterey to see lots of fish and the ocean and maybe some whales, then back to Fairfield, then over on the ferry to San Fran to see cable cars and sea lions and sourdough bread and chocolate and the Golden Gate Bridge and then back to Fairfield then north of San Fran to see Muir Woods and some beaches and maybe even a lighthouse. Whew. I am trying this coming week to take the vacation before the vacation so I won't need the vacation after the vacation. I've virtually cleared my schedule so I can start tomorrow to get the laundry done, make sure we have the suitcases out of the storage unit, make my ultimate things to do list, and get everyone ready to be out the door at approximately 5 am Friday morning.
Oh, how fun. You're making me homesick. My family is in southern California, which is like a separate state from where you're going. Have a great time. We'll miss your family on Sunday. (I enjoy teaching Sam so much. He shows me every week that I have a lot to learn to catch up with him)
