I like Big Basins and I cannot lie

I arrived in San Francisco a day early for DrupalCon so I could get some hiking in. I was hoping to return to the Dipsea Trail, where I hiked the last time I was in San Francisco. But unfortunately I ran out of time. But luckily I did manage to squeeze in one hike during the trip. I headed south of the city this time, to Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The drive was around an hour and a half and took me through some beautiful, albeit harrowing, winding mountain roads.

Big Basin boasts a variety of trails and campsites.

California Trip

A few weeks ago my brother graduated from his masters degree program in astronomy from San Diego State University. I went to California a few days early to see Wendy and Michael (not to be confused with my brother Michael) in Pasadena. We ate some really good Asian food, and I took Cady on a hike at Strawberry Peak in Angeles National Forest.

I met up with my family in San Diego when my parents flew in. It rained on our first day there, so we went to the Birch Aquarium (along with about twenty school groups).

The next day we went to La Jolla.

And the next day we went to Balboa Park.

Taa-daa!
