I could say--37 days til our next adventure, when in fact, it really is only 7 days. We are taking the kids, and leaving the responsible ones at home, on a 7 day adventure to Northern California for Spring Break. This is our first time using points from Wyndham to stay at a condo in Windsor, California...in the heart of Sonoma County. Because of its location, we had to invite our dear friends up the street, the Lowes, to go with us, since that is their old stomping grounds.
The plan is to visit San Francisco for a day, visiting Alcatraz and Fisherman's Wharf. Another day will be visiting the Redwoods in the area. Another day, the Jelly Belly Factory and Sonoma Cheese factory. There will also be some down time, enjoying a book, swimming in the pool, and perhaps, a coastal fishing trip. We considered a wild pig hunt, but...maybe that's too much.
We'll have a full van, taking Kevin and another friend. On the way there, we do plan to stop briefly, so Krista can have her picture taken by the city sign of Roseville. That'll be a scrapbook moment. Thankfully, David Sirstins in serving in Rosewood, farther north in the Roseville mission, so no worry of "accidental" visitation.
For those lost by that comment, Krista is waiting for a missionary! Strange, but not uncommon in our family. Krista met David when she was nannying for my cousin Beth in Virginia a couple years ago. They only met, I think, once? At a church Dance?? Krista knows how to make an impression, cause several months later, he found her on facebook, which slowly started the long distance relationship. At least Krista is older than Holli was when she did the same thing with Steve...silly girls of mine!
I am in desperate need of a break, and this is part one.
Part 2 - Barbi and I are leaving from Fort Lauderdale May 1, on the Crown Princess, for a 14 day cruise, transatlantic (Roman Crossing); With stops in Gibraltar, Alicante Spain, Barcelona Spain, Marceille France, Florence Italy, and finally ending in Rome Italy. We'll spend 2 days there before flying home. This is our first trip to Europe, and I am so excited.
