day 2






















Day 2 was my favorite day of the trip. We rented a car and drove to the Sequoias on the recommendation of the Calfys. We spent the morning on a hike through one of the most beautiful areas I have ever been. The trees were ginormous and the folliage was so luscious and green. It was amazing, how creative God is. We got there before the area had even officially opened, so there was only 3 or 4 other families there for a big part of our hike. After our hike we drove to Sonaoma Valley to see the vineyards, this was so worth drive. It reminded me alot of Fredericksburg, but with better weather. We had lunch on the town square and walked the shops. The pics did not turn out very good of the vineyards b/c of the fog, but in this one pic those are grapevines going up the side of the hills. After lunch we drove to Bodega Bay to see the Pacific Ocean, so Ben would finally believe me about how cold it really is. We only got to rent a car one day as gas prices were insane.

Yeah I am glad you all enjoyed the Sequias. That place is awesome and it is very hard not to be in awe. Tell Ben the boys went to watch Wall-E on Friday and Connor loved it. All I hear is "WALLL-E".
