My Christmas vacation was filled with joy and fun. I was able to spend a few days with my friends in cold, winter-wonderland Chicago before going to Escondido and being with the family for about two weeks. Most of my days were occupied by my nieces and nephews who are growing up so fast! Some highlights was the friends reunion at Hannah´s house, day of climbing with Phil in Eagle Peak, and going to the beach with all the sobrinos :)

Cooper, Erin, and Lisa at the beach
everybody happy to see the sea life at the tidal pools
Valdepeñas grape fields totally covered in water
As you can see by the grass on the rails, the day before this bridge was submerged by water
The river that runs by Valdepeñas on the right connected by a newly formed one on the left
When the sun comes out: double rainbow!
