trees and flowers part II

ahhhhhhh christmas. i love christmas because i can escape the cold for a bit and travel back home to killa cali. first stop, san fran where my sister lives. she took me to muir woods where it was cold and misty. made for some pretty pictures. next up the long drive to LA which is marked by a half way stop of In-n-Out double meat animal style burgers. yummm.

LA includes mostly fam time where we spent xmas eve at my aunt's house and xmas day at my folks. it's an all day drink fest starting with bloody mary's, moving through vodka tonics, on through to wine at dinner. dinner includes homemade lasagne, something we've been making for xmas since before i was born. it's delicious.

now it's palm springs time. too bad it's not HOT like coachella time. but still a sweet mini vacay with my parents, sisters, and nephews. more rock band! next up....murder myster dinner party!!!!
