California Love

Over the weekend, I got to go on a trip to visit a few of my favorite friends in California. The kiddos stayed home with dad, and I had a few days where the only being I had to take care of was myself. It was really nice.
We spent a day at Pinnacles National Park and went on an 8 mile hike. We saw a California condor, a falcon, and a great horned owl, we crawled through a pitch black cave, and we saw some amazing views.
We ate lots of good food, took a trip into San Francisco, did another (shorter hike) in Tilden Park, and relaxed. It was a perfect weekend, and it feels great to be back home.
Here are a few pictures from Pinnacles... I was regretting that I didn't bring my camera and only had an i-phone to take photos with......

    I bet you had so much fun and missed the kids, bitter sweet in a way!

      I had the same thought. You want your kids to experience what you experience, but being alone with no one to complain or carry, is nice too.
