visit w/ old friends

I'm still trying to catch up on stuff that's happened since I moved but before I started this blog. One highlight was getting a somewhat surprise visit from some PA friends! Heidi, Holly, and Natalee were taking a cross-country sisters-special road trip, and decided to include a stop in Visalia. We had a great time checking out Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (awesome scenery, but I forgot the memory card for my camera! major bummer =), dining out, watching movies, and also driving two hours to the Central Coast. We arrived at Morro Bay just in time to catch the sunset. Here's a shot:

Morry Bay is a cool little beach, but we didn't have much time, so I'm looking forward to checking it out again next summer. I especially want to climb up that big mound of rock in the background, just for fun.

Thanks for visiting guys! I had a blast. If it's not too unmanly to admit, I especially enjoyed singing all the old favorites in the car while to/from the mountains and the beach. And a big thank you is due to all three for buying me a microwave and some other stuff for the kitchen, and for even going so far as to do some cleaning and organizing for me while I was at work! Just for the record, of course I do enjoy spending time with friends even when they don't buy me gifts and clean my shower. Also, contrary to what the boss and other locals think, I don't have three girlfriends =)
