In case you haven't guessed already, we spent the past week in California celebrating our sixteenth wedding anniversary and Spring Break. We began our week in San Francisco, then traveled to Sequoia National Park, Yosemite National Park, and finally Stanislaus National Forest. In San Francisco, we visited Alcatraz and shopped in Chinatown.
In Sequoia, we stayed in the park at a lodge. None of were really prepared for all the snow, but we made do. The beds were hard, the food was delicious, and the trees were absolutely giant. : ) Let's just say, we were a long way from the traffic of D.C.. After two nights in Sequoia, we traveled to Yosemite and spent a night at an incredible resort/spa. They had a heated pool and an ice skating rink. Our youngest said we should have stayed there longer (too much to do in one night). We visited the South side of Yosemite first, then traveled the Northern side. We saw deer. We followed a path to a great waterfall called Bridalveil. Then we explored some more and found this really cool little place called Evergreen in the middle of nowhere (literally). We traveled to the O'Shaughnessy Dam and Hetch Hetchy. We walked a path around the dam and saw several bear (or is it bears?). We were rained on, snowed on, even hailed on...but the elements didn't get us down.
This week, my wonderful husband managed to help me check two items off my bucket list...seeing the most amazing trees in the world, then arranging it so that we could travel home in First Class (there were only two seats available...he gave up his seat for me). Is that love or what?Counting yesterday and today, we walked a total of thirty-one miles together on our vacation. Its true, we ate some things we shouldn't have like pie and ice cream. And we drank more than we usually do during a normal week. But you know what? It was our anniversary week. We had a wonderful time. And well, this week, we won't be as naughty...probably. Well, I'd better go. Laundry beckons...followed by a nap.
