Trip to June Lake

The Green family has been very busy the last few weeks. I will try to catch us up.

We took a trip to June Lake in the Sierra Nevadas the last week of August and Labor Day Weekend. We went with my parents. This was Madeleine's first vacation with Grandma and Grandpa Pfeifer and her first long road trip. She did really great! She slept quite a bit.



She also ate and pooped and cried...all the things babies do. But we did get to see some really fabulous scenery.



This is June Lake seen from the car.



While we were there, we stayed in a 3 bedroom condo that would seem so comfy and cozy...in the winter. We happened to arrive during the hottest week of the year. The temperature lingered around 85-90 degrees...and we were at about 7500 feet elevation! No buildings in June Lake had air conditioning, so we were all a little uncomfortable. None of the restaurants had air conditioning either. The heat during the day and the lingering heat at night was the most difficult part of the trip.

We still had fun. Jason caught his first fish. Madeleine got to go fishing too. Jason and I took a trip to Yosemite. We all got to eat at a gourmet restaurant inside a Mobil station. Jason saw a bear. We went to a film museum. All in all, it was a great time.




Us at the Mobil Station gourmet restaurant. We ate lobster taquitos with a spring greens salad with raspberry vinaigrette and barbeque chicken pizza. Yes, I'm serious. Maddie also met Squiggy the Raccoon, her new friend she took home with her.
