Our first snow

The weather is starting to freeze our feet here in Chicago, and I can’t say I don’t miss California. But even there, we were seeking the snow, the cold air, this magical feeling that only the winter brings, at least for me. And even though California is known for its warm weather, it gave me the gift of snow for the first time in my life.

We took Valente, our beautiful Golden, to Big Bear Lake for his first day in the snow in 2015. You can see in his face how much he loved it. Now we are getting ready for this time again, and I must say that I’m already all excited.

Roadtrip

When we moved from California to Illinois, a little more than a year ago, we decided to drive so we could bring Valente with us and enjoy a roadtrip as a family. Our car was full of stuff and it was the first time driving for so long, but man, was it worth it! We ended up seeing so many beautiful things on the road: mountains, storms, the incredibly beautiful Colorado. And last week I finally edited those pictures. I felt like I was reliving it all. The storms, the wait, the scenery and the excitement of moving to a city we barely knew.
