California in all her glory

This past week we were suprised when Matt's Dutch friends, Jos and Corina, came to visit us for the week. This was Corina's first time in California and we were anxious to show her our wonderful state.

We often forget how beautiful and diverse our land here is and this week was the perfect reminder. We spent a day at the beach, a day touring dairys and farms, a day visiting the BIG trees, and a day skiing in the mountains. Only in California can you be sitting on the beach watching the fog roll in one day and the next be sitting in the sunshine on a ski slope. As we drove this week, I couldn't help but think of those brave pioneers who crossed the Sierra Nevadas. What a sight for sore eyes California must have been! California is truly a golden state and I hope that this year will be one of blessings for her. Jos and Corina, we had fun touring you around!
