I can't believe it has been almost a month since I have blogged.  I get in a blogging funk when I am not around Sojo.

 

We took a long weekend and went over to California.  It is August, so most of the Zonies were still in Arizona getting the kiddos back in school.  It didn't seem crowded at all.  We left Thursday afternoon....overnighting in Scottsdale at a charming old 5-star resort...due to the lower summer and slow economy rates.  It was nice to relax for the afternoon and get a slower start Friday morning.  Saturday, we all drove down to San Diego to meet Garrick and his family for a harbor boat ride and walk around the area.  It was nice to see Garrick and family.  Joanne looks fantastic.  And you sure couldn't beat the weather over there.  Maybe that's why so many zonies go there in the summer. Sunday we had a chance to see Tanya and her kiddos and they are all doing well too.  All the kids are growing up so fast.  I can't believe it.  We don't see them often enough.      ooops...this was me jumping rope with Carli.  And Ron too.  Now...where is Carli?   She was doing a lot of jump roping too and showing us her gymnastic feats, but I liked the one of her on the swing.

 

Another part of the trip that tickled me was the road trip to San Diego where we saw some interesting sights.  Most of which I do not have pictures of....like the lady with both hands in the air talking....and she was the one behind the wheel of the car going down the freeway.  And then, there was the girl in the thong on the back of a motorcycle and cars were speeding up to get a closer view of it all.  A lot of men smiling on the freeway.  The only one I got a picture of was the dog.  A aging lab in the back of a small SUV with it's hatch up.  A picture is worth a thousand words...he/she was a cutie:    Next blog...back to Sojo.
