So, here we are in August already! How many of you are sqeezing in that last car (or plane) trip before school starts up again? Read Our California by Pam Munoz Ryan in Tumblebooks and tell us if you have visited any of the places highlighted in her very cool picture book!  Actually, feel free to tell us anywhere you went this summer in or out of California! If you put in a city you've visited (or are going to visit) I'll post the number of miles it is away from Monterey - ok?

To get to "Our California" in Tumblebooks:
1. follow the Tumblebooks link
2. In the Tumblesearch box in the top left corner type in "Our California"
3. Click "View Online"
4. Turn up your speakers and enjoy!

I'll start:  I visted Chicago for a week in July and traveled by plane! It is a great city and I highly recommend a visit someday if you haven't been there yet!
