We spent a wonderful weekend, bracketed by Valentines day on Friday and Deanna's birthday today, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at Shaver Lake, CA. Our stay at the Elliot House Bed & Breakfast was cozy and fun with with the warmest of hosts.
We drover across the Central Valley and up to Shaver Lake on Friday. Saturday we enjoyed a blue-sky drive up to Yosemite National Park (our 5th visit in the three years) and a delightful picknick at the foot of Half Dome. Sunday we romped in the fresh blanket of snow that came down Saturday night to envelope the mountain tops between Shaver and Huntington Lakes. This morning, after a third wonderful breakfast, we packed up and headed back to Redwood City.
Nearing the Peninsula, Deanna's cell rang and we received the great news that our application to lease a nice house just up the road a ways had been processed and approved. Our hunt for new lodging is concluded (less than two weeks!) and we'll be moving into a larger place in a nicer neighborhood for less money :-)
We took lots of pictures and as soon as I can crop some of them down (don't want to eat any further into mozillaZine's limited bandwidth) I'll post them with this entry. If you'd like to see more photos (or larger high-resolution photos) of our mini-vacations then head over to the mozillaZine front page and donate money to keep our wonderful hosts afloat.
