Our California trip was one awesome ride. Literally. We embarked on our longest ever road trip. Seven hours to Crescent City, CA. And another 6 hours through the Redwoods to see the cousin and grandparents. While we oohed over the impressive Redwoods, Yo was quite certain that we should stop looking at trees and head straight over to see his cousins!
The reunion was as expected: we lost our kids to grandparents and cousins for the week.
After three days of fun, food and chaos we drove three hours to the sparkling Lake Tahoe for July 4. While Pia and family set up home in the campgrounds with their Bible study group, we booked a hotel in town - us townies haven't yet learned the fine art of roughing it out. The kids had a blast on the beach and all of us had turns kayaking after we tucked into some kebabs grilled on the beach. Yummo. Another 12 hours in the minivan with a stop in Ashland and we were back home with ammama and appapa in tow.
