Attention: These posts following our coastal Christmas-thru-New-Year’s trip are named a bit specifically, that’s because when these were originally shared, they only had one photo each due to bandwidth limitations back in the day. Since that time, I’ve updated them to include images that relate to the details of each day.

I’ve been in California since December 10th, aside from a 12-hour run to drop Caroline at home between the 12th and 13th before I came right back. Now, after our short vacation together up the coast, we’re heading back to Arizona.

While the weather isn’t perfect, the rainbows are.

The weather follows us back across the California desert, but there’s only a tiny chance it will come with us all the way to Arizona.

I was wrong about the weather following us into Arizona. My return back to our home state will be brief. In just three days, come Wednesday, I’ll be driving back to Santa Barbara to check on Uncle Woody’s recovery. The plan right now is to only be there until the 12th so I can get back home for our 12th anniversary.
