Through the end of January

For the second half of the month, beside school we have gone out and seen some sights. If you ever visit at least I will know where to take you!

 

 

Me out at the Cannery.

Checking out the tidal pools.

Checking out local out.... Dolphins.

I think this is a tree or something.

A large tree base that washed up after our last storm.

Me and mommy at the look out.

On the trail...

A real grassy meadow.

Having lunch in the tent.

It is a one man tent, but mommy and I fit really good.

Can you see us? I can not.

 

No worries, the next post will be better. I will make sure of it.

About 20 something days later and we are starting to figure this place out

As you know, we made it here and we celebrated Christmas. Then the holidays were over and we had to get on with life. Well life here is pretty good. Even if it rains a lot more than we thought it would.

 

I am back to school. I have a new teacher and lots of new classmates.

 

I figured out where to get doughnuts.

I found the Pacific Ocean!

Made some new friends.

Got to see what a grown up classroom looks like.

Visited a Navy Library.

Learned about ocean safety.

I have posed for a lot of pictures.

Most importantly I found a replacement place for Wild Willey's. That was a huge relief.

Got Daddy on a this thing.

Play the games on the board walk.

Went to a haunted house, who knew a board walk had a haunted house.

Got to lean the ocean likes sneaking up on you!

Learned how to keep my feet dry....

 

Got to watch some crazy waves.

And learned Florida and California schools share one thing in common. HOMEWORK!!

 

All in all we are settling in and enjoying the transition from Sort of East Coast to the very West Coast. And we have been here awhile and no one has visited. We have a bet no one will!

It was a long trip, but we made it!

In case  you were wondering, we made it across the United States. It was another epic drive, but at least this time, when we got here, we did not have to drive back to Florida. Crossing the vast expanse that is America in December can present some challenges. However, with two seasoned drivers, both cars and all their contents made it safely.

 

Once we left, needless to say, we drove and drove. Our first Bathroom break was in Mississippi. We stopped once in most states, but passed a few since we had plenty of gas.

Lets be honest, I took full advantage of my time.

I think they will figure out we are not in Florida anymore. Hurry up, you forgot my jacket.

Coldest temperature we encountered along the way. Yes, that is cold.

We got a house and the truck arrived, about 30 minutes in between signing and unloading. Talk about timing. It all worked out and our belongings only had to be unloaded once.

That is the new place we will be resting our heads for awhile.

We moved in and the tree went up. Otherwise, how was Santa going to find me?

 

We also found a barber shop. I was over due and so was Daddy.

We had a great Christmas! Santa was right on target.

I have improved my Lego skills since leaving Florida and I got a cool table too.

 

I went to the VA with Daddy. I have no idea why people think there is a problem there. I got hot chocolate with marsh mellows and gummy treats.

Even got to see a monument. It was made by one of the Veterans.

 

We have already been out checking out the hills and mountains. If you walk high enough, we have great views.

 

Our area is very top secret, we have watch towers to protect us. I volunteer at night and on weekends.

Daddy did not like the back yard, so he changed it. It was his first California project.

 

For New Years Mommy made Buuz. Of course they were awesome!!

And Daddy made bread for the Fire Department. That is a funny story we will tell you another day.

They liked the cinnamon bread, but who doesn't?

 

Anyway, we are settled into our new location. The house is unpacked and all the empty boxes have been picked up. We will try to update the blog once in awhile, it will depend a lot on Daddy. So do not hold your breath.

 

We hope where ever you are you had a Very Merry Christmas and that you have a Very Prosperous New Year.
