December in Review...

Well as most know, we went to California to spend the holidays with our families. It was a great trip and we had so much fun. It always feels so good to hug a loved one and see faces you haven't got to see in so long. We left the East Coast in the mist of an epic snow storm. We arrived to CA with nothing but shine sun and warm days. It was a great break from the downfalls of Cape Cod. As always, we were ready to come home to our own beds, but left tears a streaming as we said goodbye yet again to all those we love and hold very dear. Living apart has its advantages at times but goodbyes don't get easier. What a great Christmas Holiday and New Years we had. Thank you to everyone for a great time and even better memories. Here is a photo recap of our trip...

We waited out the snowstorm in Providence Airport....finally leaving only a few hours later!


We saw Mountain Sheep on our way from Vegas to Ridgecrest. It was awesome to see them in the wild and up close. Very Exciting!


We visited Dad's trains with the other McGregor Clan. The kids had a great time!





Christmas was great for all of us. The kids were well taken care of by Santa and all the family. It was nice to be surrounded by so many people instead of it being just the four of us again.

We camped along the Kern River for New Years. It was so nice to be up in the mountains and enjoy the company of so many wonderful people.

Had some great hiking up there too!




We took the kids up to Shirley Meadows on New Years Day for some tubing. Travi loved it and Taylor finally tried it once just as we were leaving.

RJ turned 9!!


We ended our trip back in Vegas...except this time Mom and Dad took the kids with them so that Trav and I could have a few hours of time on the Strip. We won about $200.00 between the two of us. It was a great time.
