So MUCH Fun!!! After we arrived in San Diego we drove 5 hours to Big Pine to spend Easter with Aunt Sib and her family. We threw Gabby and Eliza a mini birthday party and basically had a great time being with each other. Eliza went back to San Diego with Larry and Cindy, and Jason and I took off on our exploration of California.
First stop: Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. Summary: COLD, big trees, beautiful mountians and waterfalls. I recommend these parks during a warmer season.
Next: Napa. So RELAXING! We rode the Wine Train (so we would be free to taste =) ) and toured two wineries. I recommed the wine train if you are ever going to be in Napa. Save up. It's worth it.
After that: San Franscico. Beautiful city but I would never live there because it is way to cold. It took me an hour to thaw after spending a day outside in the city. We did all the "touristy" stuff: rode the cable car, walked down Lombard, saw Fisherman's warf and the sea lions, walked across Golden Gate and went to Alcatraz. I recommend this city.
Last: Coast. LOVED the views of the mountians and rocky shoreline. The elephant seals were amusing. Pismo and Santa Barbara were amazing. Go there. I do NOT recommend driving through Malibu. We skipped LA after that because we were so aggravated with the traffic and ready to see Eliza.
THEN WE GOT BACK TO OUR BABY!!!!!
San Diego is a great city. It is so warm and sunny and you get the best of mountians and beach. We hiked, went to the beach, and the world famous zoo. Eliza did NOT like the beach. She cried when I tried to put her in the sand and waves. She LOVED the zoo. She got mad when she started walking away from the baboons. She was watching them, thank you very much!
Overall we had an EXCELLENT trip with memories to last a lifetime. We will be home in less than 24 hours. Thank you Jesus for such a good time with family and giving Jason and I "alone" time. =)
