The great Baca family vacation of 2009 is underway. We're two days into our 16 day trek across California. The first seven days of the trip will be spent driving around CA introducing Maggie to all of our family and friends. We will then head to a cabin in the high Sierras for three nights for a Baca cousin reunion. The last leg of the trip will be spent meandering back through CA on our way to Phoenix. We'll probably take in Yosemite and a few other sites along the way.
The first seven hours of the trip were spent traveling through a 120 degree desert on our way to Pacific Palisades. We are happy to report Maggie is an excellent traveler. We've spent the last few days staying with cousins Jonah, Millicent and Adam. We took Maggie to meet the Pacific and she loved it. She tasted the sand once and decided she wouldn't be eating anymore. The water was a bit too cold to take her in, but she seemed to enjoy the beach all the same. Last night we got to join my aunt Lynne and cousin Felicia for dinner in Santa Monica.

The next few days will be spent in the San Joaquin valley. Today we'll stop to see my good friend Aaron and his family in Visalia. Then it's off to Merced and Los Banos for few days, seeing friends and relatives and visiting some of my old haunts.
