Surprise Road Trip

January 6, 2026

Last night we surprised the kids with one more Christmas gift – a road trip. To do what? You’ll find out. Their luggage was already packed, the car was loaded, all we had to do was climb in and go. Along the way we stopped and gave them little gifts with hints on the destination, like sunglasses, lip gloss, and bucket hats. In the morning we arrived in California! We had a few hours… several hours, before we were allowed to check in to our hotel so we took a short road trip to the Ocean to get wet. It was cold but fun!
