Greetings from the Sequoia National Forest! I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted on any “day trips,” so I thought I’d slip one in for you from the giant Sequoia trees in the mountains of California (although it’s more like a “week” trip than a “day trip for sure!).
My husband and I are here with our family for his sister’s wedding, and it couldn’t be a more beautiful backdrop for a wedding ceremony. Since our arrival we’ve enjoyed hiking, family meals, sightseeing, fishing, and catching up with loved ones we haven’t seen in a while!

The General Sherman Tree, the world's largest tree by volume and one of the "monarchs" in the Giant Forest |
That's me on the far left of the tree trunk- just for scale to demonstrate how enormous the trees are! |
We couldn't have had more breathtaking views and a more perfect setting for the wedding day!
We will be traveling home tomorrow back to our little homestead, grateful for our chicken sitter who watched our flock while we were away (can you guess that I've missed my chickies?). Until then, have a wonderful week and enjoy the great outdoors!
