My family and I are celebrating pre-Christmas with a week at Disneyland. We're staying at the Grand Californian, which is a tribute to the National Park lodges of our country.
We went to Mommy-and-Daddy Disneyland today: The Gamble House in Pasadena. We took a guided tour that pointed out the finer points of the Arts and Crafts construction of the home. While the house would not be considered a bungalow nor a cottage, it was an amazing experience. Both DH and I felt completly at home on the sleeping porches (as in three!) the kitchen, the great room, and the servants' eating area off the kitchen. What a dream come true!
And as a side note, it is around 60 degrees here. Currently, in Western Washington, it is 15 degrees and snowing. I just e-mailed our neighbors and they are all snowed in. VERY unusual for our area!
Just thought I'd share! I'll try to post some pictures (of the exterior) when we return home.
Hope you are all well!
