Two years ago we tried camping at Sequoia/King’s Canyon for the first time. It was so peaceful, beautiful and uncrowded, we decided to try it out again as our last camping trip of this season.
Last time we camped at Sequoia we only had a 2-person tent, no chairs, no gazebo and no lantern. Our mini-van […]

Kayaking in Monterey (2006.08.19)

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Amy joined Michael and I in our latest kayaking adventure. It had been awhile since we had gone kayaking, and we wanted to try it again before the end of summer.
The weather was great for us, so we weren’t too cold or too hot. We saw two sea otters—one with an otter pup on her […]

Camping at Portola State Park

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Cathy and Gene joined us for a weekend camping trip in Portola State Park at the beginning of June. It was great weather the whole time. The only downside to the trip was that we forgot to buy sausages for our usual evening dinner. We ended up eating grilled cheese sandwiches instead…which were OK but […]

Michael and I took my dad, stepmom and 3 little brothers plus their cousin on a camping trip to Butano State Park. It was their first ever camping trip, and besides the rain on the first night as we were putting up our tents, they seemed to enjoy themselves.

Here is my dad and youngest half […]

Camping at Henry Cowell State Park

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

This last weekend, Michael and me, along with our friends Jennifer and Tim, went hiking out at Henry Cowell State Park. It was a first for all of us, and it was a great weekend get-a-way. Unlike our first camping experience of this season which rained on us while we were putting up our tents, […]

Michael and I drove up to Berkeley today to visit with my little sister Karen.

Karen introduced us to a little french restaurant called Gregoire’s today. They have a new menu monthly which allows them to take advantage of what’s currently in season and buy the freshest produce.
We ordered 2 sandwiches and a quiche […]

Weekend in Santa Cruz & The Mystery Spot

Monday, February 13th, 2006

This last Sunday, Michael and I drove down to Santa Cruz and enjoyed the nice weather, the beach, and the early smells of spring. On our way back, we stopped by the Mystery Spot. Neither of us had been there before but I guess it’s a place with some cool optical illusions. Here are the […]
