Day 248: Hiking up High

Ashley and I went to Pinnacles National Monument in central California for a hiking adventure. It was awesome. We hiked the Moses Spring Trail, through the Bear Gulch cave to the High Peaks Trail, and then took the Condor Gulch Trail back to the parking lot. It was a 6-mile hike, varying from easy to strenuous with an elevation gain of almost 1500 feet. The cave involved some crawling (and flashlights) and the High Peaks Trail had some very narrow passages with rock on one side and NOTHING on the other except a low rail.

Day 246: Tunnel

We drove through a mountain to get to Walnut Creek.

Day 245: Chinese New Year Parade

Ashley and I took the bart over to San Francisco to see the parade in Chinatown, which according to website, is "the largest celebration of its kind outside of Asia." It was very cool (literally and figuratively).

Day 244: Sopapilla Good

I bought a brick of cream cheese for something, but I can't remember what. So, I went online to find a recipe to use it in, because I can't take it back to Michigan with me. I found this recipe for Sopapilla Cheesecake. Oh my gosh.... it's so good. (And so easy!) Too bad it's 480 calories per serving. Ouch!

Day 243: Did you hear that?

Day 242: Little Farm

Day 241: Tote Bags

A couple tote bags I made for Christmas stuff next year. The flat bottom bag is super cute, but a pain to make. When I make more, I'll probably just do the flat bag.
