We survived a road trip to Northern California. Kind of. We learned that my 5 year old now gets car sick when she is watching a movie in the van. {Car sick to the point of throwing up. Twice. Yuck.} And doing anything for 10 hours straight with a teething baby can become torture.
But we survived. We made it!
We are living by the beach and loving it.
We are now settled nicely in Northern California a five minute walk from the beach. A down hill walk which is easy, the uphill walk takes about 10 minutes and gets my heart rate going. That is good for this woman’s heart! {Remember, women need exercise!}
We are living in a land of sunshine, salt water breezes and BEAUTY!
So, I am thankful that I have a new Dry Idea AdvancedDry deodorant for my days at the beach and my walks home from the beach.
Dry Idea AdvancedDry just plain works for this mommy who still has 15 pounds left to lose.

We love living by the beach, but a 5 minute walk would be much better than the 5 minute drive, but I really can’t complain. Hopefully there is no more getting car sick! Poor baby, that’s gotta be tough.
Michele says
Well you survived the car trip–thank heavens!! Now I am sure that those extra 15 lbs will melt away with that uphill walk!!
LaVonne says

Well we are here for 3 weeks and I am excited. When we travel with my husband this is exactly the kind of place we love to go to. Our next travels will take us to Arkansas. We’ll see about that…
Dede says
How wonderful! We’ve always considered moving closer to the beach.

Glad to hear that you’re enjoying yourselves. We’re in a warm place but far away from the beach (Mountains of Mexico). Build a sand castle for me please.

We are building sand castles galore! And we found an amazing kite at Costco for only $13. There is so much wind here, kite flying has been fun!
