Adiós California!

Well, today we say farewell to California. We have had a great adventure while here, but I hope I don't have to come back anytime soon! We pulled out of the campground about 9:00 this morning headed for Colorado. We hooked up the camper to the truck last night and disconnected all the hoses so all we had to do this morning was pull the slides in!




Here is my favorite shot....the back of the camper leaving the campground!!




Tyler and I have decided to make a list of all the things we will miss/not miss in California.

Let's start with the things we will miss..

- Weather
- In & Out Burger

Things we will NOT miss...

Last Supper

Tonight we had our last meal with friends in California. We went to the little airport in Cal City to have all you can eat catfish. I know what you are thinking..."fried catfish in California?!?!" Yes, fried catfish in California and it is very good.

Merry Christmas!!

We would like to wish all our friends and family a very Merry Christmas!!

Christmas this year is a bit bitter sweet. Tyler did have 4 days off work, but we are so far from any of our family and airfare is so expensive, we were unable to go home.

All week I have been listening to Christmas music in the camper. "I'll Be Home for Christmas" played quite often and it has never hit home like it has this year. The lyric "I'll be home for Christmas...if only in my dreams" rings so true for us. To our families- I know we aren't together this year, but we are together in our thoughts, our hearts and our dreams! We love you!!

Okay, I am now down with my holiday pitty party.

Since we didn't go home for Christmas we headed to San Diego!! On Christmas Eve we went to the world famous San Diego Zoo! What an amazing place. It is by far the BEST zoo I have ever been to. We saw panda bears, zebras, cheetahs, elephants and every other animal you could think of. I will try an get that post done ASAP.

Christmas Day we will return to SeaWorld. They have special Christmas shows with the animals. We are very excited about that.

Again we would just like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!

Love,
Tyler & Sarah

Thanksgiving

We had a very nice Thanksgiving this year. It was a little sad not being able to spend it in Texas with Jack & Amanda or with either of our families, but we were able to spend it with great friends.

We gathered at Tyler's bosses house with some of the other coworkers who were unable to make it home this year.

The night before Tyler stayed up most of the night smoking a turkey. And let me tell you it was amazing!! For me, the day before Thanksgiving was spent baking pies. I made 2 pecan and 2 of my grandmother Rose's pumpkin pies. They were delish!!

Chris and I spent the day in the kitchen cooking while everyone else cheered for their favorite football team. As Thanksgiving tradition goes...we all ate way to much and had way to many leftovers!!

I am very thankful we had a great group of friends to spend this holiday with. I am also thankful that I have been able to spend this year traveling with my wonderful husband. It is such a blessing we have been able to do this together!!
