It's been about seven weeks since we left The Golden State, but I honestly started feeling the pangs of leaving immediately after crossing the state line. I'm pretty sure that it's not the traffic congestion, high gas prices, outrageous camping fees, the gangster neighborhood we did our laundry in or the constant thought of earthquakes … Continue reading Californication

A Tale Of Trees
I can remember Christmas Tree shopping as a kid when my father would drag us to at least six lots before finally settling on the perfect tree.
