TODAY WE DROVE UP TO SEQUOIA NATIONAL FOREST. THE BIG TREES ARE ABOVE 5000 FEET AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED THE CLOUDS STARTED AT 4500 FEET, SO THE VIEW OF THE TREES WAS A BIT OBSCURED BY THE FOG. HERE ARE SOME OF THE PICTURES WE TOOK.
4000 FEET SO FAR SO GOOD
4500 FEET ...... OK
5000 FEET ...... YOU GUESSED IT...... FOG

NONETTE AND ME UNDER THE SHERMAN TREE
THE ONLY THING THAT RIVALED THE DIAMETER OF THE TREES WAS THE DIAMETER OF THE CINNAMON ROLL WE GOT AT THE WE THREE BAKERY AND RESTAURANT FOR A DOLLAR. I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER.
STAY TUNED, TOMORROW WE ARE HEADED TO THE NAPA VALLEY WHERE WE WILL TOUR THE JELLY BELLY JELLY BEAN FACTORY. I FEEL A REAL SUGAR HIGH COMING ON. HOW MANY FREE JELLY BELLYS COULD YOU TEST IN A DAY?
That cinnamon roll looks great, and dem trees are HUGE!
