We just returned home from a wonderful WARM weekend trip to California. We had planned to visit Jared's sister, Renita, about 6 months ago and since then it has been an off again, on again trip. But we were both at wits end and figured with the kid's extended school break, this would be a good chance to go. I don't think it could have come at a better time. The infamous Salt Lake Valley inversion hit right as we were leaving. We traveled from 30 degree weather to 80 degree weather.
We left at 5:00 am, drove straight through to arrive in Moorpark around 5:00 pm. The kids did great, but were grateful to escape the car when we arrived. Two days at the beach, Ashlea's (my niece) volleyball tournament (1st place - YEAH Ashlea!!!) dolphin sightings, a beach bonfire, and watching two incredible sunsets fade into the ocean. What could be better!
You have to check out the footprints picture. Everyone always asks if Hailey always walks on her tiptoes. The answer is always yes and now I have the proof. I love it!
5:00 am this morning... a long drive home and as we came into Provo, the inversion welcomed us home. Talk about feeling claustrophobic! Oh yes... back to reality

Looks like you had so much fun! I'm ready for warm weather again...when should we leave????
I love the pictures. I'm glad, you had a great time. We're still freezing here - between 10 and 30°F. Talk to you later.
Lovely, lovely lovely. Thanks for making me feel like I was on vacation with you, at least for a minute! :o) Love the picture with Hailey's toeprints in the sand...super cute!
Hooray for vacations! I'm glad you had so much fun - and a good break!
I am so jealous! Good for you. Vacations are always so nice. Next one you should make out to say the midwest :)
I hope you bring back some warm weather to us. I asked the kids if it was warm in California and Hailey looked at me and said "not warm...HOT!"
I'm glad you got a little mini break! They are so necessary to maintain any sanity what so ever. I'm glad you had fun but you made me really homesick!
oh fun! I didn't have your email but wanted to tell you I put you down as a reference cause I'm looking for a job. Hope you are doing well!
It's so nice to get a little vacation to somewhere with a beach and warmer weather. It looked fun! That last post about Jeremy thinking he might be going blind, still has me laughing :) :) :)
