Outside

This last week of the year has given us some incredibly great weather, even by California standards.  With our family taking some time to visit friends and family throughout the state, I've tried to find activities that would allow us to get outdoors as much as possible.  Here are some "postcards" from our week...

Toyon (aka "California Holly") in the Verdugo Mountains.  It is from this plant that Hollywood gets its name.

A trail in the Verdugo Mountains above Burbank on a beautiful day.  Downtown Los Angeles is in the distance.

Tristan and his friend (who we only see about once a year) on downtown Sacramento's Discovery Park Trail.
