I've discovered a feature that lets met put a picture on a location on a map, and have managed to suck several hours of my life into putting some of our pictures on it. Remarkable how few pictures we took of the southern states... Hum, sounds like we need to take another trip some day!

Potrero Camping April 2009
In April, we did a camping trip with a family friend Bart and his two daughters, out to a campground near Tecate called Potrero. Nice 1 hour drive, shaded spots, and flat roads great for kids riding bikes, etc. Nice place, and definitely will return there in the future.

SLO and Yulupa Trip, March 2009
Every now and then, even with a tight budget, and packed schedule, we just have to hit the highway... One of our favorite haunts is San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast area (where Dave went to college). This trip, we augmented with a fact finding mission on Co-Housing, touring a complex there named Yulupa.

Holidays 2008
Holidays this year was, well, busy, and full, and joyful, and attempting to be frugal with a little less to circulate, and, did I mention busy? :)
For Halloween, I was motivated to make our costumes - all three of ours... Mine, a cave man, Delilah was a kitty, and Barbara's was supposed to be a cave girl, until she saw how cute Delilah's cat came out... We attended our first party at Lynea and Rheto's, while Delilah played with their daughter Josie then went Trick-or-treating with them around the area. From there, we went to Colleens house - where we had, um, sorta suggested that she should throw a Halloween party...
Barbara and the hostess Colleen doing karyoki (sp??)
This year, I bought some more Peanut oil to fry Turkies - and boy did I fry turkies! We went to my brothers for the official Thanksgiving feast, then had a "make your own extended family dinner" on Friday to up the holiday factor (2 turkies there).

Leading us into Christmas - 
We had our standard "Christmas Eve Eve" party, which was again well attended (about 40 people in our little place) having numerous memorable highlights.
And for Christmas, had my parents over for breakfast, and then invited a number of friends to join us for dinner.
After Christmas, things were cooking at work - so I took in the turkey fryer and cooked up three more birds to share with for a potluck! A little too much oil made this a particular mess, but rave reviews all around. Wow - talk about turkey!

Camping in Anza - Nov 2008
Ok, so it's been a while since I updated this... Been keeping busy, so just a handful of weekend trips to share.
First was a weekend trip with a number of friends and their families - Brian, Anya and her mother, Jan and his son Jack, Michelle, Paul and their dog peaches, and of course Barbara, Delilah and I.
A few picts here, and the rest in an album -
