hey Victoria, beautiful pics, thanks for the reminders of how lovely it is there. You deserved it after all you've been through and done for us! (not that we had anything to do with you going, but it's the thought that counts right?)
As for sand and cracks, well, let's just say I hope you had more, um, enjoyable things to occupy your time as far as that goes!
Welcome back, and glad you didn't come upon any earthquakes (or them upon you!)

Thanks Jenny, I checked a little while ago and the tsumani warning has cancelled at 11:13 this morning so all is well in paradise, but It does feel good to be home. Nick and I decided to keep the boys home from school tomorrow and take them Hot Air Ballooning up in the Temecula Wine Country because we need to drive up there to pick up my Dad. The Vacation just keeps going...maybe I can stretch this on through the coming weekend before I have to come back down! LOL
