This past week Will and I went out to California to visit my parents. I hadn't been to Northern CA before and Will got to go even further west then he had ever been. It was fun getting to see my parents new house and where they work. Mom and dad had the week off so we got to visit a lot of interesting places with them.
First place we visited was Muir Woods which is where you can find huge redwood trees...thankfully there were no apes :)

In case you can't read the numbers, this tree was planted in 909ad and fell in 1930...its kind of crazy how old these trees are

We also got to visit San Francisco. We had dinner at the cheesecake factory and I tried the Ghirardelli cheesecake and it was fantastic.

We made our way down to pier 39 and saw Alcatraz and all the touristy stuff down there

We also went to Yosemite national park. Will and I hiked from the tip of glacier point all the way down to the valley. My legs were killing me for the rest of the trip but the views were beautiful...except for that last mile of the hike that wouldn't end.
We also visited the winchester mansion. Sadly we couldn't take pictures inside the house because its quirky. There is a door that if you walk through it, you will fall a story down to the porch, there is a staircase that goes straight up to the ceiling and many other strange things because the woman who built the house was afraid that whenever she stopped building on the house that she would die.

That was the majority of our trip. I'm glad we had the chance to visit my family and spent time with them.
