Going back to Cali...Cali...Cali

Just when we thought we were all snuggled in for the rest of winter, we had to go and stir things up again. Things aren't too busy here, and Joey's nephew will be deploying to Iraq soon, so we've decided to head to California in the hopes of spending some time with him before he goes.....and to warm up a bit while doing so. We decided this a couple days ago, and originally we were going to take the bus, but the more we talked about it and all that we hoped to do while in California, we decided we're going to TENT camp the whole time, about two to three weeks. I thought the kids would be against it since they won't have electricity, but they're very gung ho about it. In fact, they can't wait and ask multiple times a day about when we're leaving. It was supposed to be yesterday, then today, but we're not even half packed yet so I imagine we'll load up tonight and get an early start tomorrow.
