Where Do I Start?

October 28, 2008 by Elaine

So I thought I would blog about the trip to Cali in chronological order (day 1, day 2, day 3…) and then I thought, no, I’ll post about certain aspects of the trip categorically (the food {oh my gosh THE FOOD!}, the wine {oh my golly THE WINE!}, the accomodations {yeah, also pretty awesome!}, the scenery {Can you say God’s country??} and then I was like geez, I am complicating this!

I mean really am I going to spend an entire week blogging about my 3 and half day trip to California? Can you say over kill?

Well, if you can then go ahead and say it and get ready because besides Halloween this week (yes I plan to post the obligatory pics of my boys dressed up!), this blog is bound to be “ALL CALI ALL WEEK” from here on out. So if you came by for the bloggy giveaway go ahead and check that out first and then come back and read about my trip ’cause it was so cool! : )

Now here’s some of that scenery I was blabbin’ about! (click on image to see it larger!) I plan to post a bunch of pictures and an actual synopsis of the trip on Wednesday. I am still trying to catch up on stuff here at home and Little G is STILL sick (he kind of was the day before I left) and we will probably go to the doctor tomorrow. So, this will have to do for now. I really cannot wait to share more, it was such a great time…

    Hey I don’t know if you’ve heard this before but your page always takes FOREVER to load and the comment form takes FOREVER to pop up. Just thought I’d let you know the trauma I go through to leave you a comment.

    YOUR WELCOME!
