Michael and Dana's wedding drew me to California for celebration of young love and reunion of my "other" family which I grew up with. The "next generation" of weddings has evolved to reception entry of bridal party with sassy dancing, hip hop groomsmen and lots of creativity. Wishing Michael and Dana growing love and happiness which they already exude.
I spent 2 1/2 weeks while in California the beginning of the month.
Celebrating niece Kara's birthday lasted all weekend, along with a visit from her sister Amie from Berkeley. Maggie, Kara's new puppy entertained us with taunts to old dog Marley and Gizmo the cat.
My sister Karen, Mom and I road tripped to Mammoth Lakes in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I had lived a decade in the Sierras before moving to Maui, and have been away for too long. I love the beauty, tranquility, and fresh air of the mountains. This video capsules our adventure staying in the log cabin built in the '20's near the waterfall going into Twin Lakes below, across from Lake Maime, hike to view of Lake Mary, our hike around Lake George, hike to Heart Lake, Mom plopped in chair with a view guarding off mosquitoes while we hiked, old gold
mining camp with mine and equipment, and Horseshoe Lake. Afternoon thunder clouds built up with loud claps of thunder and huge drops of rain.Yes, the sound of the thunder drums still has its power. No need to wonder.
Next escapade report will be Catalina Island.
All that water in your photos but no reports on how the swimming was. By the way, it is August, what's with the long pants and long sleeves?
