Our Trip to Cali
As you can see, our trip began with emerging from a very large hollowed tree. It was a traumatizing experience.
Here we are at Muir woods. It was just like the Redwoods and was absolutely gorgeous!
This thing made us laugh until we almost peed. It's a little trick with mirrors and windows. These people pulled faces into mirrors, all the while having no clue that there was an audience of people at Ripley's Believe it or Not museum watching them and laughing hysterically. At one point a guy saw the red flash of our camera and began looking deep into the mirror trying to figure out where it had come from. The two of us ran and hid behind a corner like little kids at recess, afraid that he could see us.
Here is a shark that one of us caught. We actually got to touch a shark!! Jake actually caught a bigger shark through his eye... as in, the hook went through his eye. If you ever come across a one eyed shark swimming through the ocean you can thank Jake. It was crazyness!
Last month we went on a trip to Cali to celebrate our one year mark. It's hard to believe that it's already been that long, but are excited to be able to say that we're no longer "honeymooners". Here are some lovely pictures of our california adventures:

This is what I looked like after our first water ride at Six Flags. .. which by the way is the best theme park ever. We spent two days at the park screaming our lungs out on some of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the country. I highly recommend it.

This is at the exploratorium. I've always thought I looked better with a halo.
Again at the Exploratorium. This is a great look for Tyler.
Our deep sea fishing adventure. My fish was sure a beaute. Don't ask about Tyler's.... there's still some bitterness there :)
In case you've never seen this though, you catch a fish, you're all excited, and then they pound its brains with a wooden mallet. Eesh.

The inspiration behind this picture of and exhibit at Ripley's Believe it or Not museum lies behind the book that kept me sane during our long ride to California: the Twilight series. Along with several other thousand girls across the country, I am now a total vampire fan.
Again at Ripley's, Tyler and I strike a pose with this gentleman. Ty wins this contest for sure.
No words are really needed for this picture. Whales are beautiful!
