Sequoia National Park

I promised when I did something exciting, regardless if it pertained to food or not I would update you. Well here you go! Yesterday I took a much needed mental health day and Chris planned a day trip to Sequoia National Park and California Hot Springs. We stopped off at Trader Joe's before we left and picked up munchies for the day. If you haven't tried it, go buy their hummus party platter, or something to that effect. It's 4 different hummus..es.. original, garlic, tomato basil, and spicy (which is out of this world). Get some bagel chips and go to town! We also got some bread and cheese and dark chocolate almond lacy cookie type things, oh a some salted cashews. Delicious spread if I do say so myself. Once we got up to the big trees we laid out a blanket and had a picnic. We then went on the trail of 100 giants and had fun looking and the trees and even crawling inside some of them. Afterwards we drove to the Kern River and walked along the edge for a bit. It oddly starting lightly raining, weird. We then went back to California Hot Springs and went swimming and ate ice cream. Then we zoomed home for Chris' softball game, which they won by the way. Great great day. Hopefully this is the weekend for cookies and cream cheesecake cups!

Here are a few pictures from the day!
