This Christmas we headed to the sunny shores of CA for Christmas to meet up with the Voss family.
Dad and Mom Otten gave us their top carrier that they had used on many of their family vacations in the past and it came in handy as we were packed to the gills inside the traverse.
Our path led us across some open country on our way to Phoenix AZ where we were going to spend the night. Unfortunately though we were caught in the first snow of the year. It stretched our 6 hour trip into a 9 hour trip, but thankfully we arrived safe and sound.

Elijah: Eva, it looks like you have alien legs!
The two kids belly-laugh.
David and I turn around, and see that Eva must have gotten a little bored on our road trip to California...

When we arrived in San Diego the first thing we did was go to beach to catch a beautiful sunset.
Although it was December it wasn't that cold and Eli and Eva didn't waste much time to jump into the water (or at least their feet).
Peter and Joseph's first beach! They loved it!
