With the new year we begin to think about vacation plans for the summer. We had so much fun and positive response when blogging about our trip last summer that we want you all to know our New Year's resolution is to do it again this year.
After reviewing the trip last year we decided two things 1) we left a little too early - we had planned 3 full months and maybe a week or two more. But the best laid plans of mice and men don't always go the way we want - we were home by mid-August (we had left Memorial Day weekend). As most of you know August and September are the hottest and wettest days of the summer in Phoenix. This year we plan to leave closer to the 4th of July and be home by late September. 2) Although we did a lot of sightseeing and went to places we'd never been, we spent too much time hurrying to get to the next place on our agenda. This year we plan on taking it a little slower and being gone a full 3 months.

| some of our sights from last summer (sorry goes too fast, must learn to master this) |
Our plans are to visit the far western coast of the United States - from San Diego all the way up to the Canadian border. We have plans to be with family and friends, time for just the 2 of us and plans for lots of sightseeing. While in California we hope to visit our son in Long Beach, my cousin in Yorba Linda, hubs sister and brother-in-law, my cousin and my baby sister. We also hope to travel through and stay at some of the awesome National Parks (Yosemite, Sequoia, Kings River). We plan to continue the trip up into Oregon where we hope to see my dad's sister, Aunt Shirley and her children (my cousins).....it's been several years since seeing them. From there we'll go to Washington state (visiting more friends), over to Idaho (where my mom was born and spent some of her youngest years), Montana (to see Glacier National Park), then head south - down through Wyoming (Yellowstone), into Colorado, New Mexico, over to Nevada and then down home. If you live in any of these areas, or are just visiting during this time, and want to get together let's work on making that happen! Email or private message or call or leave a message below and we'll see what we can work out.

For the next few months I'll just be updating this blog occasionally....be sure to keep an eye out for the updates....once the trip starts I'll work hard to update daily.
