California Dreamin'....or is it Spring Fever?

I've been quite remiss in posting to the blog over the winter...and here it is spring already!   I am finding that keeping up with the blog AND keeping up with work AND keeping up with my granddaughter AND my photography...I just need more FREE time!! 

So, why not take a vacation??  That's just what we did!   We just returned from a dream trip to northern California.   We visited with my husband's brothers & sisters-in-law...plus my niece, her husband & great-nieces.  I met in person a good photography friend I had only known via Facebook (& had an awesome day shooting with her & my sis-in-law, Sherri in the vineyards)...just a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime trip.  

The next few blogs will "take you with me" via photographs as we travel northern California.   First stop:   Old Sacramento & Placerville, CA--where the gold rush and trains and "go West young man" brought the adventuresome to the Golden State.
