I was going to do one post on how much 2010 sucked and what was going on in April. It felt wrong to mix the two - so you can read my last post if you like. All about everyone's medical whoas.

April 2011?
I can't even think about it because my head will probably spin. Will still be working weekends, for 3-5 more weeks.
**Indian Spring festival (Holi) this weekend. I am exhausted just thinking about all the packing/planning. Covering the carseats in garbage bags so they don't turn rainbow-colored. Bringing enough towels and changes of clothes, etc. But, it will be fun. I don't think I have the energy to do it every year. Every other year has been our groove.
**The school moved it's awesome International Festival to April. Oh - the food is always DIVINE.
Why April? To torture me, I suppose. (I do remember last year it was like 100+ degrees, and the year before that rained - but I don't think April will assure better weather than May!)
Plus, I remember buying like 10 waters/sodas because it was so ungodly HOT last year!!! Seems they should have made more money.
**BM has two track meets (out-of-town). Lots of driving for these... But we can kill 2 birds with one stone and visit family. I don't think it will be so bad since we have other things to do at our destinations.
Needless to say... BUSY!

I shared that Weekend Sherpa link, recently. Lots of great ideas of outdoorsy stuff to do in California. (Indoorsy in the winter, I guess).
I haven't really looked at it much since my friend turned me onto it last fall. Tax season, surgery, crappy weather. Maybe I should read it more often - I didn't realize it had a ton of indoor suggestions during our endless rainy March.
Anyway, this is what came to my inbox today:
Rock City - Mt. Diablo
& so I found our first hiking destination for 2011. OMG - the kids will LOVE it.
Too bad we probably can't justify the gas or the time, until May. But will have to set a date.
The cool thing is it is a good half-way point to meet my dad. So, I am thinking a picnic with Grandpa. A cool hike. Neither of us has to drive 4 hours round-trip to do so. Woohoo!

OR the super crazy workloads. Honestly, we don't do super crazy here, so it isn't so bad. (I don't do a lot of individual tax returns).
