Publisher's Synopsis
This is the last book on a four part series on a California vacation from August of 2013. The resulting books are a combined effort of a whole family exploring and enjoying the majestic beauty of the state and the company of each other. These books, with their quotes and words of wisdom, would stand well on their own as coffee table travel books of place and thought but take on another aspect with the addition of actual family vacation pictures expressing the warmth and beauty of families in times of joyful exchanges. Family life can be boring, painful and too confined when seen only in the light of daily living and surviving. It very often does not accurately reflect the feelings and dreams of the members. We are often not really what we appear to be or are demanded to be by the roles we must play in our daily family life. It is often very gratifying to step out of our roles and try to find out who we really are and would like to be. We should not lose touch with the child that remains within our hearts.
