I have been absent from my blog for about a month, we were preparing for a vacation to California to see my Uncle and Aunt.
We were very busy, cleaning the house, arranging for our animals to be cared for while we were gone, shopping for clothing, making clothing, etc...
These are some entries from my traveling journal that I wrote on the way to California.

“Therefore I tell you, Do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink; ....” Matthew 6:25
All of our family is in our white van. The back of the car is filled up with suitcases, pillows, sheets, and bags, while the rest of the car is occupied with more bags, cases and other various items. It is 12:34pm we are on out way to San Diego California to Aunt __ and Uncle __’s house. We are to stay at their house from tonight (Friday night) until Monday. On Monday we will be checking into a room at the “Bahia Resort”. We will be staying there until Thursday night and we are to go home on Friday ...
... We are 326 miles from San Diego. 1:14pm We are going through the desert. There is a lot of saguaro cactus in the desert. I am very tired and I keep yawning so it is not hard to keep my ears unplugged. There are clouds above us and they are so beautiful. :) I must let Rebekah read now.
It is 320 miles until San Diego.
290 miles until San Diego, it is 1:42pm.
Yuma is 62 miles ……… 2:20pm.
We are driving through Yuma and it is 3:03pm, we still have about 3 hours to go.
We are in California …… :) We think that we might see some of the sand dunes. This is such a fun trip. :) I believe they are the sand dunes, the sun is on them and they are pretty.
We can now see the sand dunes up close, they are so beautiful. :)
The Sand dunes are so pretty. They look so smooth and bumpy at the same time. They are so beautiful. They would make wonderful pictures. They look like you could run your hand on them and they would feel like silk or flannel. :)
Now we are passing by some dirty sand mountains.
We just passed a beautiful sand dune that was so smooth and deep. It is 4:00pm.
We are going through a very bumpy part of the road as my writing might suggest. There are little bushes all over that are a brownish green-gray. 4:19pm.
We are to pass through more mountains before we get to California but there are none in sight so we must still have a long way to go.
It is 118 miles until we get there.
I can see mountains, they are almost hidden in fog. 4:40pm.
….there is green on the mountains! They are so neat.
We are looking at some large different windmills.
It is getting very green. :) 5:22pm
There are green mountains everywhere, they are so beautiful. 5:39pm
It is 43 miles until San Diego :) Yay!
The Mountains are beautiful, but there is mist everywhere or maybe it is fog?
The mist is blowing. it is 52 degrees. I cannot sketch any more pictures of the mountains, for the mountains, seem to be gone.
Mom said the mist might actually be clouds.
It is neat to be in the clouds, or mist, but kind of scary to not to be able to see the way before you. All I can do is to pray for safety.
San Diego 37 miles. 5:47pm
We ARE in the clouds :) It is so neat. :)
We are in San Diego! :) Yay!
We are going to drive by the ocean and then go to Aunt __’s House.
We are looking for their house……
We are here! 6:39pm.
