This last Sunday, my dad dragged me along on a road trip with his girlfriend and our dogs. I felt like such a third wheel. The plan was to visit Castle Crags, but we missed the exit. As we were turning around we found this Railroad Park. It was full of really old trains. What was cool about it was that if you stayed the night you got to sleep in the old train caboose's. Not to mention the great view of Castle Crags.

After stopping there for a moment, we took off to find the exit for the Castle Crags Park. We found it of course, but when we were paying the admission, they told us we could only go to the view point with our dogs. They weren't allowed on the actual trail. That just sucked, but at least I didn't have to go on some long walk.

Since it was still early we then made our way to Mt. Shasta. Where we got a little lost trying to find the road up to the mountain. My dad had to stop at the visitor center to get directions. Moments later, we were making our way up the mountain and to our destination. The old ski bowl. The cold air was greatly appreciated all around.

Of course that was the end of the road trip as we headed home to the 100+ degrees. I miss the cool air.


Yesturday, I was finally able to go see Ponyo in the theater. It was such an adorable movie. I just loved it!
