We spent a week in California this summer thawing out after a long Alaskan winter and an exceptionally cold summer. We didn't mind the 100 degree temperatures (ok the kids did keep asking me to turn the heat off every time we got in the car). I was pleased with the extra hot conditions and soaked up every bit of sun that I possibly could in a one week span. We spent much of our time at the water parks or in the backyard playing in the kiddie pool.
