Tim’s company required that he use a certain portion of his time off between the months of November and March, so naturally we started looking at warm weather destinations. We briefly toyed with the idea of a Hawaii trip before opting for the less-expensive option of driving to visit family in San Diego. Despite getting stuck in Las Vegas traffic for six hours(warranting a last minute stay in Barstow to calm the crazies) on our way down, we managed to get our fill of family, fun and sunshine.
