Skinners NOT in Florida, Skinners in California

Okay, so the address to our blog is always going to be Skinners in Florida, but that's not necessarily where we will always be. So maybe I'll have to start a new blog with a new address. For now...

The Skinners have trekked across the country to visit our families in Southern California while we await the job hunt. We figured we'd get some vacationing and visiting in while Daniel had down time and since the kids are homeschooled, it was a perfect situation to travel.

We drove the two cars packed full of all our stuff (more than when we moved to Florida, you accumulate a lot in 6 months) through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Teeeeesxxxxxxaaaaasssss (that was long) and Arizona (with a stop there to see Daniel's cousins and Aunt and Uncle) and then on to CA!

I'll post some pictures next time. Gotta get them off the camera. For now...just wanted to update. But if any readers of this blog know of good Mechanical Engineering jobs for Daniel...LET US KNOW!

Boating for Christmas


How many people can say they went boating on a lake 2 days after Christmas?
Not many.
But WE CAN!
The WONDERFUL Merrills took us boating a couple of times after Christmas! It was soooo fun. The weather was PERFECT and we got to ride around in this tube. (Even I, Ivy, went.)

This was definitely the highlight of our Christmas vacation!


No...he's not having any fun...
