Having felt like we mastered travelling with the three after surviving Disney, we decided to bring it up a notch. We took the kids on a 9 day trip to Seqouia & Yosemite parks, Sacramento, and Reno. We "camped" one night in Yosemite. This is my idea of camping. The framed tent has cots, electricity, a campfire, tables, a food locker, and a dresser. All we had to bring was our sleeping bags and smores ingredients. We were right up against the river. Having camped very little in my life (Girl Scouts), I didn't really plan too well. I brought all the ingredients for smores from Vegas and knew they had a pit/campfire. When it was smore making time, I realized I had no matches, charcoil or wood, and no sticks to make them with. Luckily for us, our neighbors had kids and Keira nad Devin quickly made friends with them. They invited us over to use their pit, skewers, chairs,and the works. SCORE!! The kids really enjoyed the campoin part and being right next to the water where all the ducks, birds , and squireels were. After Yosemite, we went to Sacramento to visit with Aunt Nette and her family. My sis was nice enough (or crazy enough?) to volunteer and then demand that we live the kids with her for a night and go off by ourselves for a night and day in Napa. No one needs to ask us twice!! We enjoyed30 wonderful hours of all wine and no whining Bliss!1! After satying with her, we wnet to Reno to visit Grandma/pa Parkyn and Aunts Pam/Heather for a couple of days. Grandma and Cousin Brooke came with us to the old gold mining twn of Virgina City where Devin got to ride a real steam engine train. I think we had to remind him to breathe! Keira and Brooke enjoyed dressing up in old time dresses and having a photo taken. So cute!!!
