Our first day of blogging!

Ok - so this is our very first day of our blog. We'd just thought we'd try it out.

Maybe some of our friends and family in Texas will enjoy checking it out so they can hear a little bit more about our day to day lives in California.

We just returned from a short weekend trip to Cambria, California. We left early-ish on Saturday morning and drove down (it took about 3 hours), had lunch at a place called Robin's in the town of Cambria and then went to Hearst Castle for a tour. Really fascinating place! We took tons of pictures. I'll put some on here, but know that there were so many I couldn't decide which ones to share...it's that picturesque!

Then we went and checked into the place where we were staying, the Cambria Pines Lodge (at the reccommendation of our friends Bill and Patrice Fernald!). Neat place!

After dinner, we spent a short time walking through the gardens at Cambria Pines, but there's not much to see in a garden after dark, so we called it a day and headed back to our room. This morning we got up early, had breakfast at the lodge, and headed back to Santa Cruz in time for church. (Ok, we were about 15 minutes late, but that's not bad considering that how far we drove!)

All in all, it was a good, albeit quick, weekend - and a place we hope to visit again. After I figure out if I'm doing this right, I'll try to add in some pictures from Hearst Castle.

Thanks for visiting our blog! We hope to add more later!
