Vacation Destinations

This year we decided to stick around Northern Ca. for our vacation. Some of the most beautiful places in California are only a few hours away so we loaded up our car and off we went. First we spent a couple days at Angels Camp and Columbia. I took too many pictures to post but here are some highlights. I'm a huge Little House fan and some of it was filmed right here and in a town near by called Jamestown. It was such a cute place. They had an old fashioned Mercantile, a stage coach and we even spent a couple hours panning for gold. We really made some fun memories.

Then we headed to beautiful Lake Tahoe. This has become one of my favorite places to get away to. It is only a couple hours away and it is breathtaking. We had fun at the beach just relaxing and playing in the sand. Drew was loving her little boat Daddy bought for her. I love the beach!

We are so happy some of our very dear friends, the Brauns moved so close to us. We have gotten to see them a handful of times since we moved up North and every time it is so wonderful to reconnect with their family. This time we took a very scenic drive from Columbia to Reno to see them. It was a short but sweet trip and I cannot get over how grown her kids have gotten. Where has the time gone? Thanks Braun family for an awesome time! We love you!

I wish I were there. We could've reenacted all of the Lil' house episodes, since we know them by heart. Carly, you could be Mrs. Olson! I would be PA, of course!

Love,

Dad
