Late Sunday afternoon, Brent and I decided we needed to get away for a few days so we headed out for the Sequoia National Forest. Never mind it takes about 5 or more hours to get there and it was already 5 pm or that our mechanic told us we shouldn’t drive our van outside of town because it is a piece of crap has a lot of miles. Nooooo we threw some stuff in a bag, hooked up our pop up trailer (yes, it’s still camping), and took off for the mountains. (I love trapping Brent long road trips with Brent so we can discuss “life”.) Around 11 pm we pulled into the campground and set up camp. Fun. Times. Let’s just say I forgot toilet paper and dish soap but not my kettlebells or my workout journal. How about we call that “commitment” and leave it at that.
We planned to come home Wednesday but we both decided the forest was too magical to leave. So Wednesday we hiked up to the top of a hill, wandered around searching for an internet connection, and finally set up an “office” in the middle of the woods so Brent could email with clients and I could yammer on and on about chipmunks. Alas my delusions of being Snow White are over and we are home. I have much I would like to share (including a recap from my first regional taekwondo tournament last Saturday where a girl who has taekwondo confused with MMA kicked my butt) but seeing how “Rest” was my lowest grade on my last report card it is going to have to wait. Until then here are a few pictures from this week. If you are in the mood for something deeper check out my ramblings from my last visit to the Sequoias.
Have great weekend.
Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

Omg, how sweet are you 2!! Love those pics!!
Thanks Em!
Love that you brought your kettlebells (could I expect anything less?). Those photos are great. Love the Snow White visual. Did you break out into song as all the forest creatures gathered around you?
Hahaha, those are some priorities right there!
You know it!
After reading both of your guest posts on Deb ad Janetha’s blog, I thought it was meant to be that I should start reading. I loooved your story, and think you’re pretty great.
And pshh, even though you were a little unprepared on said camping trip, I hate when camping has to be stressful. Like who cares? Camping should be about roughing it. And kettle bells.
Read some of your blog. You seem pretty great too!
Hi Jenn,
Loved your post over at Janetha’s site. Question: I’ve read a lot about the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar. How did you use it? Did you see noticable benefits?
Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by. Here is a short post I wrote on apple cider vinegar a few years ago. http://www.girl-heroes.com/2008/08/11/apple-cider-vinegar/
I used to take a tablespoon after each meal. Honestly, I’m not sure if I noticed much of a difference though. It may have helped with cravings. Like all supplements I’ve fallen out of the habit as of late. At least I still brush my teeth!!
Definitely commitment! You get some rest, girlie. And seriously, I love that last picture!!
Thanks Retta!
[...] Last week, I went camping in the Sequoia National Forest. It was a perfect week. Something Brent and I both needed. We left BY OURSELVES Sunday evening bringing the essentials. [...]
I stopped by to tell you that a) the Sequoia National Forest IS magic! and b) that you are one hot bikini mama!! But then I read your reply to the apple cider vinegar comment and remembered all over again why you are my Internet soul sister. Love your honesty!!
Internet soul sistas, indeed! xoxo
