We woke up, ate breakfast and started cleaning up and packing. Matt worked and the boys and I finished reading, "A Diamond in the Desert." We brought the chairs out to the driveway and sat in the sunshine like we did in the past few days. The boys liked the book so much they asked me to read it again to them. Once Matt stopped working, Liam and him went on a mountain bike ride while Seth and I fixed dinner and relaxed. Once Matt got back I went to the grocery st...

After Matt got off work we rode our bikes into town. We stopped at the post office to get postcard stamps and then we continued our ride out to the North Valley Rail Trail. We took the trail to the end, which was about 5 miles into the country, and then turned around and rode back i...

We only bought a couple of items that we knew we couldn't find anywhere else. Then we drove across the street to Albertsons and grocery shopped. It seemed like a newer store. It...

The sun was shinning and there was a thick layer of fog on the lake which made for a crisp and beautiful scenery. We got up, had some breakfast and started packing up. Even though it was probably in the 30s by now the sun was shinning and I was taking layers off while I was packing up the stuff we had in the tent. And the layer of frost on the te...
