PHASE TWO OF OUR TRIP.

After seeing the big redwoods in Yosemite we headed to Exiter California to visit my Uncle Kent and his wife Paula. This is a Kent, Paula and their new puppy Jada Elizabeth. Kent and Paula live on what Les and I consider to be a little piece of pparadise only you can't really say little. He lives in the middle of 100's of acres of orange groves. It is so beautiful and peaceful there. Jada is the cutest little puppy and won over our hearts and our feet:-) she likes to lick feet. We got to visit with some of my cousins, Gwen and Charlotte and meet Gwen's twins, Morgan and Shane who are two great 17 year olds.
Les took a relaxing swim in the pool before dinner. Kent also has a hot tub, sauna and tanning booth as well.
We enjoyed our stay at Kent and Paula's they truly roll out the red carpet for us! They put mints on our pillows provided us with robes (like they do in the expensive hotels) and made us feel like royalty.
Sequoia National Park in almost in Kent's back yard, another park of giant redwoods so we took off to Sequoia while we were there as well.

The Park was so beautiful and it was sooo cool there. The temperature was the best probably because we were so high up and shrouded in trees. We waved good-bye to Kent, Paula, and Jada. And were off to our next stop, Santa Barbara California, home of the twins for their birthday. Stay tune for the 80th birthday party!
