Our Vacation, in Facebook Status Updates

I have nothing to say about the inauguration that hasn't already been said or will be said. (Well, except for this: He said "nuclear!" Like it's supposed to be said! I am almost dead with happiness.)

So, instead, I'm going to do something totally self-indulgent and unlikely to be of interest to anyone but the people involved: Recap my weekend vacation to Big Bear via the Facebook status updates of six of the eight adults who attended. Here's all you need to know; we had five laptops with us. (Oh, and we brought our kids, too, ranging in age from 11 down to 1. Crazy fun.)

A is unhappy with the ongoing sinus problems she’s having in light of the trip to Big Bear coming up. (6:50 pm)

Baroy is looking forward to Big Bear. (7:33 pm)

A is sad because Jo is crying about there not being any snow in Big Bear. (3:53 pm)

D hasn’t even left yet and already wishes her Big Bear trip wouldn’t end! (7:23 am)
