This morning I remembered we are traveling to Mountain Home, AR in about a month on personal business, and wondered what sort of adventure we might have. We will fly from Sacramento to Denver, change planes, fly to Tulsa, then drive. Coming back we fly out of Tulsa to Las Vegas, then to Sacramento. Misty has a Funny Story about the last time we flew out of Tulsa.

The first time I heard this song, it was played by Asleep At the Wheel. I had forgotten how cynical the 2nd and 3rd verse are:
“Little bee sucks the blossom, big bee gets the honey,
Little man picks the cotton, big man gets the money.
“Always wear a great big smile, never do look sour.
Travel all over the country, playing by the hour.”
You can also hear it in Bob Wills’ words before, during, and after the song. But that is not the way I feel about this trip!

There is no place like home for the holidays, but we are grateful for the many trips we have taken over the last five years. Take a look!

Last Saturday we woke up in Monterey, CA to sunny skies and cold air. The waves were high, but the traffic on the way home to Auburn, CA was light.

Last Saturday we visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium and had a great time. The Secret Lives of Seahorses and the Kelp Forest were my favorites. And it all brought back memories of Moody Gardens.

It was mostly windy and rainy, but last Friday we drove down to Monterey, CA. It went pretty smoothly, and we were happy to see the ocean again.

Thinking about Thanksgiving this week, and our Fifth Wedding Anniversary next month, I was filled with Gratitude and Joy! Over the last five years we have made over 500 web videos just by playing around.

BACKSTORY:
We were heading East on I 40 in Arizona, Misty woke up to find we were stuck in traffic, so we broke into song.

The midday sunshine made mesmerizing patterns of rock and water.

There’s a haiku for you!

Yesterday the whole family went down to the Bear River and grilled up some brats for lunch.

We got many views of the clear blue waters of Lake Tahoe off the pier by the Pine Lodge (Ehrman Mansion) at Sugar Pine Point State Park in Tahoma, CA.
