Tales From the Trip (Part 1 – Life’s a Beach)

California, California…

March 27, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

I’m now humming the theme song from “The O.C.” after typing this blog post title. I don’t know how we pulled it off but David and I managed to miss winter’s final (I hope) hurrah here in Oklahoma last weekend. While we were enjoying 70+ degree temperatures in Southern California, our fellow-Oklahomans were dealing with…
