Whirlwind California Vacation

This photo journal captures a small amount of the very strong and good feelings this trip gave us. We saw so many loved ones and wish we could have seen more. Hurray for family. This was a fulfilling, rejuvenating vacation.

#2 On The Drive, Palm Springs area

#4 BBQ, Santa Monica

#5 Hike, Malibu Creek State Park

#6 Three Generations

Missed getting a photo with my brother Brad, who stopped in at Mom and Dad's house briefly. Can't believe how many siblings we got to see this trip.

#7 Brentwood. My daughter asked me today if we could go to Aunt Erika's. "Wouldn't that be fun, Mom?" Oh, if only it were that easy.

#8 Children's Museum, Stockton

#9 Aunt Paula's House, Nail Painting, and U-pick Cherries

#10 Our stop in Fresno to visit our new nephew and to swim in Uncle Rusty's pool.

#11 A Peaceful Property and Grandparents to Share the Morning With, Bear Valley Springs

#12 Neglected to photograph our stop at Aunt Marcy's house, a few hours of good conversation and a sample of delicious homemade cookies.

#13 My great niece and my son. Two-days apart in age; they seem to know each other. Santa Monica.

Last day of our trip spent, of course, in the yard.
