New Year’s Among Giants

From icy Vancouver, we migrated south to San Francisco en route to our New Year’s destination – Sequoia National Park. We road-tripped to Sequoia in comfort and style, thanks to the latest addition to the Deans’ fleet of bargain buys, a snazzy Dodge Caravan. We ventured on daily hikes amidst the magnificent sequoias, and as always, the Deans impressed us by not letting the kids slow them down – as if snowshoeing isn’t hard enough, try doing it with a 3 year old on your back! The Davises (Steve, Janet and Cyndi) joined us for New Year’s and we greeted 2009 with plenty of good food and good cheer. The rest of the week was filled with more beautiful snowy hikes, this time with the Davises, who also deserve accolades…Janet asked only that we keep her dry and get her home before dark yet kept her cool when we failed on both accounts on day one!
