Family Race Day 2012 was an adventure, an amazing house sitting adventure. January found us in Nevada house sitting in Vegas for three months!! Mad to spend all that time in Sin City? Not at all, there are after almost 1 million who live normal lives there.... we did just that, with a few exceptions like seeing the NY in with Stevie Wonder, mind blowing Cirque de Soliel experiences and some excellent dining.
Home to BC in February, planning our summer in UK and Europe through TrustedHouseSitters.com our preferred house sitting/sitter website in fact the only one we use and trust. May with friends in Hay on Wye, then on to Chippenham and the beautiful Biscuit, Suffolk with Florence, London with Teazel and the Olympic experience, Eurostar to Paris, a short interlude before house sitting for Simon and Sabine looking after their beautiful home, two dogs and cats, near Epernay, Champagne Heaven!!
October found us back in BC, saying goodbye to our sitters from Oz. Hopefully they'll return, our home was immaculate when we left and just as perfect when we returned!!
Home for a couple of months before our return to Las Vegas, this time we had two little treasures to care for, Paddington and Coco. Our daughter Nicky and her partner Richard came for Christmas and New Year, from the UK, we had such a fun time with them, always hard to say goodbye. Our home owners returned from their European trip and we headed to their Condo in San Diego .... to sunshine and warmth, our body, mind and soul rejoiced! The world renowned Zoo and Safari Park are amazing (this from someone who really doesn't find most zoo environments a pleasant experience, for the animals that is!!) The Saturday Farmers Market in Little Italy is such fun go with a very large, empty basket and full purse!! After 10 lovely, lazy, days we drove back to Vegas for our flight back to BC. Three days later we're on the "Red Eye" bound for New York ............. welcome 2013 and our next house sitting chapter. Happy New Year Everyone.
