What great times you all have had! Do you have a list of all the places you have gone? We live in the East Bay so we are fairly close to you I think. Thanks for all your ideas!
We sort of have a list, Leslie – we try to buy a refrigerator magnet, every time we go somewhere new 🙂 I know it is kind of touristy and corny, but it is fun to look at all of them and remember where we were.
Very nice Roy. Most of my favorite camping or outing pics feature the grand kids. Good times.
I am really looking forward to spoiling grandkids, Bill!
Great pics!!! Lots of places to add to our Bucket List now!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Holly! There sure are a lot of great places to explore – we are always torn between the beach or the mountains 🙂
