I have GOT to take a trip sans kids again down there.....perhaps if I'm a good little substitute teacher and make some moolah this year, I can swing it. I earned ZERO dollars in 2004! Go me!

Can I crash at someone's pad on Harbor Blvd. in May or July??

I swear I'll buy lots of drinks and I'm getting really good at shaking apple martinis.... :o Pweeezzzz???

In December, we're definitely doing Disney and it looks like my mom and her husband are coming with, which will kind of be annoying. Oh well. We're thinking of staying on-property, and kicking around the idea of WDW instead of Disneyland....they are participating in the Homecoming stuff and the deals I've seen so far are very very tempting. I'm just not a fan of WDW, but Courtney is dying DYING to go there.

No matter what, though, we'll be FLYING. No chance of hanging around in Redding again. Sheesh.

Between now and then, we have five snow weekends planned, starting with THIS weekend. Can't wait!! Now that Chloe is old enough to stand the cold for more than 10 minutes we can go play at Mt. Hood for a day at a time. We have a long weekend booked in February at Mt. Bachelor, too. Can not wait for that one.
