New inside joke with my family. XD

Hello, all! I'm back a couple of days earlier than expected. I won't go into a blow-by-blow account of my trip, but I'll highlight a few points:

~ We stayed in Sequoia our first night there. My sister and I wandered outside to see how many more stars we could see than if we were in the city; definitely more then just the three or four that show themselves down here in Orange County. o__o;; I happened to be walking down a driveway to find a darker area when something caught my eye in front of me and a little to my left. It scared me a bit at first because it was the right color to be a puma, and they are nocturnal creatures, but it was actually a doe. She had a look at us and kept on going like she knew we weren't going to hurt her. It was cool. o__O

~ We stayed in Kings Canyon the next night. We were in a little cabin that had running water, electricity, beds, and pretty much nothing else. Yeah. While on the way to dinner, my sister caught sight of a waterfall through the trees and we stopped for a better look; it turned out to be Grizzly Falls. We went right up to it and got soaked in spray. I really hope my pictures came out all right.

~ We were driving along a rural road when I spotted another doe. She looked at us and made her way back into the woods, bobbing her head like an oversized bird all the way. XD

~ I was awestruck by the giant sequoia trees once again. And the mountain scenery...I just can't describe it in a few sentences. Hopefully my film will be developed soon and I'll have great stuff to show you. I deeply pity anyone who hasn't seen a redwood or sequoia tree up close. It's quite a unique experience.

~ We spent our last nights around Napa and San Jose, stopping by the Winchester Mystery House again while we were up there. We had dinner with our NoCal family, which was fun. The drive home was murder, though. >.< Once we hit that LA traffic...GAH!

For anyone who may wonder, I had 78 messages. Compare that to the 700+ I had when I got back from my trip to New England in 2004. I'm only watching a handful of people in comparison now. XD

I have decided that I will be moving to a new dA account; I'll let you all know what my new username is once I'm all settled and set.
