Where: SoCal

WOW ... what a lame blog!
We have been getting some grief (deservedly so) for our lack of posts.
Here is the truth ... We started our journey plugged into the in-laws barn for two months, slowly worked our way to Orange County, CA ... via McMinnville, Winco parking lot in Redding CA, Yosemite National Park and Victorville CA ... have been plugged in here ever since. We have been here so long our batteries went dead.
Nice.
Why you ask?
Back surgery ...
And I have been trying to get back to working order ever since.
Today we received word that I am "Good To Go"! So we should be heading out across America soon.
The upside to all this has been time with family ... spending time with the Wheelers (Kristen's parents) was awesome. I am sure some of you are rolling your eyes at the thought of spending two months plugged into your in-laws barn ... the grace they showed our family was a life lesson for me.
Our time in Southern California has been an amazing, once in a life time opportunity.
Time at the pool in 90 degree weather (in November), SoCal's heaviest storm in 15 years. In-n-Out Burger, the beach, redbox movies, Paddle boarding with Uncle Donovan, Balboa Island, Dinner with our friend Jenny Hinzdel, Movies with Aunt Christina and Marisa, Fall baseball games with the nephews, Kristen's Birthday at Matsu's (Benihana style restaurant), El Pollo Locco, Thanksgiving with the family, Disneyland with the Robisons, Special dinner at the American Girl Cafe, Cigars with my brother, Beach Pit BBQ (PBRs) with Johnny Meehan, Christmas lights with Trisha and The McGuckins, Ice skating at the Irvine Spectrum, Christmas with Family, Yogurt, Tamales with Team Chambers South (My brother's family), Nerf dart wars with the Cousins (the girls love it) ... and the memories go on.
It's kinda funny ... when we began this adventure I thought we would be visiting rocks and mountains (National Parks) ... It turns out the most beautiful view from our "Mobile Home" are the smiles of our friends and the relationships we have been given.
And good food and drink.
Smile
