My wife has always wanted to go to California.  You see, she has had so many friends that have gone down there and came back with wonderful pictures and stories about the many adventures that they have had.

Also, she has never left the country.  The closest she has ever been to California is the RASS - a magazine published there.  It is very worn out because I catch her looking at it each and every day.  She has found two places that she would like to go out there: the city of Murrieta and the city of Temecula.

She has the trip all planned out with us visiting wineries, a balloon festival, and even the restaurants she wants to eat at.

What she doesn’t know is that I am planning to take her in just two weeks - when we are both on our vacations from work.  It will be so nice to see her dreams come true - and I can’t wait to see her reaction.
