California

For my birthday, Dan planned a trip to California to see some of the natural wonders of the west. First, we drove to Lake Tahoe for the night, and spent the next day at the beach and later caught a movie. Then the next day we headed into Yosemite national park. While in Yosemite, we rented bikes and rode throughout the valley, which was very peaceful and tons of fun. We also managed to squeeze in a hike. It was all spectacular! The next day we drove up the windy road to Sequoia national park to see some abnormally huge trees. I absolutely love trees, so I was in heaven! The trip then ended in Bakersfield, Ca. at the wall where Dan broke his leg as a three year old. He's lucky to be alive!

All in all, we had a lot of bonding time, sightseeing time, and relaxation time. It was a great! Thanks Dan!

This is Lake Tahoe

This is the view of Yosemite as you drive down into the park.

This was in Yosemite on our hike.

Here we are standing above the valley of Yosemite. You can see everything up there.

This is the famous tree that you can drive under in Sequoia.

Here we are standing in front of General Sherman (I think it's the largest tree in the world...I could be wrong.)
