Over the river and through the woods, to California we go!!!

Dec. 1, after planning and waiting for what seemed like forever, we packed up our car and headed out of town on a much anticipated family vacation! We woke up the morning we left to find THIS!All the more reason to be joyful about heading for clearer skies! We had planned to just drive straight through, but the roads continued to get worse as the day progressed, and it slowed our progress way down. At one point during our drive, Joey asked us if we were in the North Pole! He was dead serious.
This is a picture in American Fork, early in the day. We thought this was bad, but we had no idea what was on the road ahead for us!

Here's a picture of the view from our timeshare condo that we stayed in. It was right next to the beach! I'm so jealous of people who actually live here! No fair!
Well our week was awesome, we had such a great time, and came home to this:
Oh Cali.....I miss you already!

I'm still on a total vacation high. I had such a great time with my family. We took Brian's laptop with us, but never even turned it on once, so please forgive me as I'm way behind on blogging, and my first priority will be to record our trip before I'm able to get around to reading everyone's posts. Don't give up on me though! I'll be back after all of the suitcases are unpacked, and the laundry is done---ha! Yeah right! Like laundry is ever done.
