First trip to Sequoia National Park

Your mom and I finally got inspired to take the trek out to Sequoia National Park. My dad is in town and he wanted to see the sights, and it really was his idea. I think he sparked something for your mom and me, though, because we really enjoyed getting outdoors and enjoying the beauty that nature has to offer.

Along the road, we got out often to take in the sights. I flirted a little bit with disaster here, trying to get a good view into the canyon.
The sheer enormity of what is a purely natural construction is awesome. My dad and I crane our necks to take it all in.
Speaking of scale, look at how small those people look next to these centuries-old trees. Beautiful!
