On the road again...

After two very busy months in our household, we piled into the car for a 9-day road trip to Northern California for Spring Break, visiting family and friends along the way.  We took our time heading South, stopping in Ashland for some fun at Lithia Park and a quick visit to the Sundial Bridge in Redding before making our way to Sacramento.  We had a blast running around seeing people and the girls loved every minute of playing with their amazing cousins and good friends, Rylan and JD. 

Our next stop was Walnut Creek for a quick overnight with the Gaber Family where the girls hung out with their friends Dillon and Nina.  We got a few sun breaks during our trip but it mostly rained so Cora was psyched to pull out her swimsuit for a little dip in the hot tub with Dillon!




Before starting our journey home, we headed through San Fran and into Marin to check out their children's discovery museum.  It was incredible and a perfect end to our trip before the long drive home. The girls were troopers in the car and loved being in new places along the way.  These girls love to travel or maybe they just get sick of being at home like their Mom!  Cora keeps asking when we can go back to a hotel instead of just staying at home....

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Cora and the boys

Dave's friends, Scotty, Ryan and Danny, have been taking good care of us this week. We're thinking about asking them to move in long-term! Ryan is currently making us a fancy breakfast and Danny is still trying to find us the perfect Subaru Forrester to purchase.

Salar de Uyuni Tour

Southeast Bolivia is home to the world´s largest salt flats. This amounts to huge expanses of flat land surrounded by snow capped mountains. Big lakes, super dry deserts, and llamas, alpacas and vicuñas everywhere. As you can see from the photos, there are a few interesting things going on here. First, and most notable, is the huge population of flamingos. There are three different species that summer in Bolivia and winter in Chile and Argentina. But what makes it even more interesting is that the salt flats are roughly 14-15,000 feet above sea level. We are way up here. That makes the hills and mountain surrounding the plains almost 20,000 feet. Mt. Everest is less than 30,000 feet. This is home to flamingos? Yep, lots of em.
