My cousin had a 3 day visit this past weekend. We hadn’t seen each other in 20 years, so it was great to see each other and get to know each other better. Friday we spent a long day exploring LA, Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Venice, including the Walk of Fame and La Brea Tar Pits, the Boardwalk, and more.

Saturday, we got up at 3:30 am, and by 9 am, we were pulling into Yosemite. Visited the giant Redwoods, then went to Glacier Point for the views. Stuart and I hiked 4.6 miles into the valley, while kim drove the ca

r around. Stu did a bit of shopping, then we devoured a tub of ice cream. Went to El Capitan, then Bridaveil falls, then drove to Merced. Got to the hotel around 11. I was beat!

Sunday – Woke at 5:30, drove to Monterey Bay, walked around there, then drove down the coast, through the famous Big Sur region, it was foggy, but still gorgeous. Saw Elephant seals and a gorgeous waterfall. Good times! Hit some traffic, but made it to the LA airport almost exactly 2 hours before his flight. Lots of driving, lots of fun, lots of sights, packed into a short weekend!

Words

Hazel is an avid, avid reader, and devours books. She seems to pick up and use new words really well too. The funny part is that she frequently uses words that she is learned from a book, but probably hasn’t heard much, so she uses
