The second part of our family vacation began when we woke up the next morning to beautiful mountain air. There is seriously nothing better than that feeling when you wake up in the mountains. After eating a quick cold breakfast we headed out to see some of Sequoia National Park. It truly is an amazing place! Everywhere you look there are gigantic trees, and I mean Gigantic! And they're old too, some are estimated to be over three thousand years old. If you think about, that means they were about 100 years old when Adam died... That's old. Walking through this ancient forest was an amazing experience and I definitely plan to go back there some day and show them the beauty of those ancient, and gigantic, trees.
That's us at the very bottom, the small white specks, it's huge!
Photos are mostly credited to my dad, I was stupid enough to not bring my camera...After exploring the Sequoias for a few hours we headed off to begin our trip to Disneyland! We still had about a six hour drive to get there, and boy was it a fun six hours... We traveled down many more long and winding roads to reach our destination, crawling along the walls of the canyon. We thought that after getting out of the canyon we'd be on nice straight roads again. But no, that was not the case. Instead we ended up on a wonderful road called Auberry. It wound and wound and wound some more. However, after finally reaching the highway we cruised along, hit some L.A. traffic jams, and finally reached our hotel. Too exhausted to want to go and explore Disneyland we headed off to bed, while dreams of Mickey Mouse danced in our heads.
