There is a bit of snow around - old snow that just hasn't finished melting. It is warm during the day right now (55 was the high) so this snow will not last long without another storm to come in and add to it. It was so fun to walk/drive around and see the beautiful snow and trees. We saw different types of animal tracks. I just love the smell of ponderosa pines!
We decided to go with Mike and take school on the road. I packed up all the books and we decided to take this opportunity to have a nice, long fieldtrip. We were able to accomplish quite a bit even with the disruption in routine.

ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job hunt. I would love the chance to relocate...I'm antsy. I think a little road trip will all your books sounds heavenly. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the trip! Last year Ryan interviewed with a company in Prescott. He was one of three considered and so we made the trip, he didn't get it but the break up north helped us to regroup and recover from all of the stress. I hope Mike is successful in his job hunt and that you guys get to relax and have fun!
