San Diego Trip

On our last trip with Sarah's side of the family before they headed home, we went to Mission Beach, Seaworld, and the San Diego Zoo. The weather was a little chilly, but at least it was sunny for the most part. Now it's back to Sarah and I holding down the fort with Mac....

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

For the first time ever in the history of this family, we had Thanksgiving dinner outside - guess what we were thankful for!?! Pictured above is Sarah, Mom, Dad, Shawn, Sam, and Spencer. Hope you all had a great day as well - it's almost time for a dip in the hot tub...I'm out!

Disneyland & Universal Studios

Well, we took about 200 pictures over the past weekend, but here's a couple photos to prove where we were....

By popular request, a picture of Mac with his new best friend.

The whirlwind tour begins!

Sarah's side of the family arrived in CA late last night - they had to wait for an hour at LAX for me to pick them up after the van we borrowed had electrical problems 5 miles from town. So we all squeezed into the Escort, which nearly overheated coming through the mountains, and safely arrived in Palm Springs at about 2 am Pacific Time. After a little sleep, we went to the zoo in town (pictured below - thanks boss for the tickets) and went out to eat downtown. Tomorrow it's off to Disneyland .....more pictures to come!

Camping in Joshua Tree National Park

What an amazing day! We had beautiful weather. Above: Mac helping dad get the camp site ready on Saturday morning when we arrived.

Below: Shawn up on a rock, he tried to get Mac to go up with him, there was no way...we quickly found out that our dog is afraid of heights!

Above: Mac and me enjoying the last bit of sun as it was setting.

Below: The awesome sunset at Joshua Tree National Park. Hope you can come visit us and enjoy the beautiful weather this winter.

Below you can see the best part about having a dog... INSTANT WARMTH! It was pretty chilly at night, so we cuddled to stay warm, don't worry we shared the warmth with Shawn a little too!
