Starting 2011 out with a BANG!

Here is Jaycee doing one of her favorite things to do: paint at Painted Earth. She was able to go painting with Pa. Jaycee painted a dog and Pa painted a tortoise. They both came out very nice!




We decided we'd try a little road trip for the new year while I still had some vacation time left. We headed out the morning of January 1st, stopped for one night in Livermore, CA, to stay with family, then continued our Mini Copper road adventure into Oregon to stay with more family for a few nights. The first night we were in Klamath Falls, Jaycee played in the snow (a first for her). She didn't mind the freezing cold weather at all!


The next morning we suited up in our warm clothes and Jaycee was off to her adventure yet again. Jayden was content as well with her little snow suit.






On our way back home at the end of the week, we decided to break up our trip with a stop in San Francisco for the night. We managed to get quite a few things done while we were there: we visited Fisherman's Wharf, the aquarium, went to Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co. for lunch, rode on the two story carousel on the pier, and drove over the Bay Bridge twice! Everyone enjoyed themselves :)







And what better way to end a fun-filled vacation? How about with PINK EYE! Jaycee got pink eye from her second cousins in Livermore, passed that on to her sister, who then passed it on to Mama. So far, Dada has been the only lucky one to not have the infection yet. Let's hope it stays that way! There is a first for everything, even if it's not always fun first. At least the rest of our trip went unscathed. We are looking forward to going to San Francisco again soon. Hopefully we'll be able to head up there again soon because Dada is almost done with college! Yeah! Go, Dada GO!

Oh yeah, we celebrated our 5th anniversary yesterday too! What better way to celebrate than going to bed with a swollen pink eye?
Maybe next year we'll be able to do something for the two of us again :)
