LA MESA, California – Spring Break is coming up. I remember it being a one-week celebration. When I was a kid, we used to camp at Agua Caliente in the desert.
My husband and twins will be making the trek to El Paso, Texas on Saturday, April 5. I will stay here and keep things flowing on the La Mesa front.
