Long Lake, Quincy CA

Nala waiting for dadLong Lake Recreation is in between Quincy & Truckee CA. It is nestled in a quaint area of the mountains & took a mile to hike in, plus a boat ride across Long Lake to get to the cabin. The family owned cabin, once built by a civil war miner, is still standing strong & has become a historical landmark. Long Lake sits in front of the deck while Mirror Lake awaits us from behind the small cabin. Horse flys & mosquito's were in full force that weekend but did not take away from the beauty that surrounded us.
Flight Simulator

The Gang
Mark & Stefanie Instead of paint balling this year for Russ' 29th we took a trip to Anaheim for a flight simulator class. For all you gamers out there this was YOUR playground. Myself on the other hand, well...lets just say I crashed, burned, & couldn't shoot a bush let alone my "enemies" at any time during my flight. It's ok, I'm a good trash talker so I know I got in their heads! Rawrrrrr!

Napa Valley, CA
Congratulations Man Ho for graduating from Justin Siena High!
We enjoyed celebrating Father's day & Sue's birthday in Napa Valley this year. We visited Greystone the CIA of California. It's beautiful stone architect left us wanting more history & more amazing food!
Old Faithful Geyser of California grounds had Tennessee fainting goats. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fainting_goat) Which I have to say I really tried hard to make them faint. I even had Sue hold my purse while I crawled over the fence and chased after them to see their muscles freeze. The baby goat froze while running but to my dissapointment did not fall to the ground.
Jacob's Four-Horn Sheep were not as exciting but interesting to see. Needless to say the petting zoo was entertaining along with the wimpy geyser.

Sailing in San Pedro, CA
The thrilling sea sick feeling of floating in the wind is unreal. Mike is an amazing captain, and let's us enjoy the the salt air along with many cocktails. Joy's menu included homemade tortilla chips, with guac, veggies & spinach dip, & incredible soft bun subs.
