Spring Break Day 3: The Crazy Skies
Although our flight wasn’t due to leave until 3pm, we had to rise and shine very early. So many chores, so much packing, so much preparations to be done.

Today’s Highlights: We woke up above the clouds. Chloe finally talked to Mindy. Evie had a little bath. We made it to just outside Yosemite.

Kidless in California
Labor Day weekend, I headed out to California without kids or husband. They all stayed in Atlanta to head to Dragon*Con. But I was not without family. I spent my west coast weekend with my mom, my dad, my sister and her fiance, seeing the sights and having fun. I am quite certain that this

Photo Friday: Colors of California
Labor Day weekend, I took my first non-work, kid-free trip (other than an overnight getaway here and there) in over a decade. While it was easier to not have to be in charge and not have to make sure we had all the necessary supplies, I did miss sharing the trip with the girls. This

After having been in California for ten hours now, I’ll share my thoughts. Since all I’ve seen is the San Jose Airport and this hotel, it won’t be much. I did bring a camera, but forgot it was SD not compact flash, so I won’t upload photos until I get home. One Day Meeting Pros:
