Merry Christmas 2007 - San Diego

Merry Christmas everyone!  It's always a little strange to celebrate Christmas in San Diego, it's 70+ degrees and sunny.  On Christmas Eve we took the boys to an ice-skating rink next to the Pacific ocean.  Today we rode our beach cruisers around the town.  It's been a...

the Neighborhood

Our home was the 'crack house' in the neigbhorhood.  It was in 2003 we moved in to our home after it went through probate.  The neighborhood was full of children, all the streets ended in cul-de-sac so often the kids would be running around outside, playing football and other games. ...
