Camping!  

It was a combined anniversary trip.  You see, we used to live in Southern California and our friends there have their anniversary two days before ours.  So we decided to meet in the middle to camp/celebrate together.  They left at 4:00 a.m.; we left at 4:40 a.m., and both arrived at our camp spot at Manzanita Lake about the same time.  The weather was perfect and the site was the best in the campground.  What else could you ask for?

There were activities:

And of course, Sydney enjoyed herself:

Our other friend, Linda, sent along for us to enjoy the wild bird food that she takes on her camping trips.  It brought out some wildlife.

There were such a variety of scenes within the park.  So enough about us, here's the view...

Yes, even snow, on a volcano!
