A nice perk to what we do for a living is that we get free passes to the CA State Fair. We also have access to the grounds while it is closed. This is one of the days when the boys and I got to enjoy the Fair… We entered the grounds a couple hours […]

Both boys are thrilled. These are the official next step with hand brakes and gears! Our first few rides were just in the cul […]

A favorite tradition of our WA road trip is the Qdoba dinner we share with our friends, John and Ann Jenks. Same time, same place, with the same precious friends!

Our WA/ID road trip continues…on to Lake Chelan! The long drive from Sandpoint to Chelan afforded us an opportunity to take a break at the Grand Coulee Dam… The weather was mild at Lake Chelan. Typically by this time in July, all the hills are brown and the lake is warm. This year, the only […]
