After an absence of 3 plus years, the kids & I finally made it up to see my parents. They live in Placerville, Ca, which is just outside of Tahoe. Nick had to work a bit near East Bay & met us at my parents house the day before New Years Eve. We had the best time. Living in Southern California for all these years, I forgot how beautiful NorCal is. It's green, there are lots of trees & it is NOT a concrete jungle. I miss that. We are home again, which I missed as well and here are some pictures to document our picturesque trip.
