One more time....

   Well folks, our time in California is winding down. We made the trek to Sacramento once again, back to the place our adventure began. (kind of ironic) The kiddos said good-bye to the kind woman who gets breakfast ready @ the hotel every weekday morning. It was truly very sweet! The kids were great in the car the whole trip, I guess they expect to be in the car for at least six hours. We got to see beautiful mountain ranges, desert terrain, tons of farm land, orchards, and aqueducts. I am absolutely glad that we are lucky enough to go back home before we're off to Italy! The kids are so excited to see the house, relatives, their bikes, and toys that we didn't send out to CA.
   On another note, being here feels like "home away from home". The kiddos remembered being here in June. It was neat to hear them point out things they remembered, like the pool and where we would play in the evening. Our room is just one floor up from the room we stayed last time. We're on the 4th floor, and the windows don't open! AAAHHHHH!!!! I might go insane w/out fresh air when we're in the room. Oh well, I can suck it up for the last 11 days here in California. (The hubby warned me not to use this blog to complain, "no one will read it", I can complain about the windows right!?)  I do hope that our last days in Cali are beautiful, and eventful! I also hope that we make to downtown Sac and ride the train. We didn't get to do that the last time, and the kids really wanted to, so maybe we'll surprise them!  Okay, its off to bed now...buonanotte!
