Murphys

Ahh, the Gold Country! So typical California, every turn looks like a postcard to me! We drove several hours east up to Erin and Khalil's new "cabin" in the hamlet of Murphys. Fantastic country and a fabulous house. As soon as we walked in we both said, this is the "grown-up" house. Exquisitely decorated with Erin's touch on every piece. I can tell she had a wonderful time putting this all together and it looks great. She should've gone into interior decorating! We stayed the first few days ahead of everyone else and explored some of the country. We took a little dirt road we saw on the AAA map and ended up at the best swimming hole I've ever been to. Right on the Stanislaus River, huge rounded boulders and deep clear pools of cool water. So we took Erin, Khalil, Angelina and Cassie there when they came up. I think it was a great find.
