The Pudgets' California Adventure, Part IV

During our second day in SF, we hit the California Academy of Sciences and saw some penguins and butterflies. We also finally made it to Muir Woods. Everywhere we went was crawling with people (and bats).

The Pudgets' California Adventure, Part III

We left the national parks and ventured toward San Francisco. We stayed within spitting distance of where Mommy used to have to travel for work 20 years ago (South San Francisco). We hung out at Fort Baker when we found out we needed reservations to go to Muir Woods. We also checked out Sausalito, Tiburon, and Belvedere Island.

The Pudgets' California Adventure, Part II

We left for Sequoia National Park but got there too late to see any of the big trees by daylight. We had to use a cell phone flashlight to see General Sherman. Next, we headed to Yosemite and hiked to Yosemite Falls. (Mommy forgot to take pictures of anything except BBB, unfortunately.)

The Pudgets' California Adventure, Part I

We began our California adventure by being unceremoniously dumped by our parents, who high-tailed it out of there to go to Palm Springs. Meanwhile, we enjoyed being spoiled with a trip to the Line Friends store in Hollywood. We got tons of new Line Friends merch for Christmas.

BBB came to Boulder for a little day trip and enjoyed the experience.

Isn't it way past your bbbedtime?

Dinosaur National Monument

We took a little Thanksgiving road trip to Vernal, Utah, to see Dinosaur National Monument. We also managed to hike to Moonshine Arch, which was tricky because there are no signs and it's a mile off the road. No fewer than three Chimmies accompanied us, as well as a tapir and BBB the bat. Geo was sad he couldn't fit Duck in his suitcase.
