California Road Trip 2014

I choose to Never announce that I will be out of town 

On my blog before I leave

Maybe it's a little fear, maybe a little smart

But I took my youngest son

And went on a 10 day road trip to California

10 Days

2012 Miles

A Little Family Time

A LOT of Beach Time

A Ton of Fun and Sun

Relax, Drive, Relax

Loved Every Minute

Here are just a few of the 320 photos I took

I decided that each day

We would take a photo of where we were

Or where we were going

Day 1

California Here We Come :)

No matter where we were

I was Always on the hunt

For a Fun Antique store to walk through

 

This boy LOVES horses

I think he'd keep one in his room

If I'd let him

 

Twins Lakes California

 

Stayed a couple days with Grandma (Mark's Mom)

And his sister and BIL

 

We also spent one night with

My oldest son's birth sister (who found us 8 years ago)

They have truly become family and we Love them SO much

 

I can Finally say I've been to Bodega Bay

Where they made the movie 'The Birds'

 

San Francisco - Alcatraz in the background

 

We got to walk on the Golden Gate Bridge

A bit creepy because you can feel it move

But we forged on

 

Another stop was in San Jose

Winchester Mystery House

A fun Tourist stop

 

Santa Cruz Boardwalk

Before you fall asleep

I'll stop here and share a few more photos

Over the next few days

I will end by saying this:

I have not taken a 'real' vacation in over 24 years

This was a time very much needed

And Way overdue

I'll never let that happen again

It was Fabulous!!!!
