Our California trip(s)...where to begin?! To get the longer version, refer to the post about Christmas in Roseburg, but basically we spent a week before Christmas and a week after Christmas in California. We had such a great time!

| We don't always wear matching socks, but when we do, its totally a coincidence. |

| Not as warm as it looks... |
 |

 |
| I never thought I would be so happy to see this sign. This is how you know you are finally home in Spokane after 3.5 weeks of being on the road with toddlers, going to and fro, living out of suitcases... Dicks Hamburgers - by the bagful...there's no place like home. Keep it classy, Spokane! |
