We realized that many schools do not have a winter school break in California, but WE did! So we took off to one of MY favorite places (I got to choose this time), but mostly because my husband needed to attend an Art show there as well (two birds with one stone or one flight as in this case). So we invited his whole family who live in California -- we rented an iconic 'Modern' home and had a BLAST! (just like we were kids again...) I got to see the Modernism show, visit the Frey House and all the terrific Modern shops. While my husband got to see a very nice Art show which was going on at the same time (his work happened to be in the show as well so that's always fun!). The kids... well the POOL was the big draw and we had PERFECT weather! I pulled together some quick photos of the trip... I had so many boxes of New SPRING collections when we returned I am sorry but this is going to be a quick blog because I have TONS of work to do!
