This park will now hold a special place in my heart as it was the site for celebrating my big (4-0) bday 😳 The day started with me (and Jsky) sleeping-in while daddy & Madi snuck out to buy me flowers & gifts 💗 We then headed into the park, which was actually the 2nd park (after Yellowstone) in the NPS system (est 1890) And home of the largest tree (by volume) on earth – General Sherman.

We finished up the day have a beautiful river-side dinner.

Even with all of the amazing adventures of the day, I found myself a lil sad that I didn’t get to celebrate with my sisters. But later that evening, Drew & I joined with our neighboring camp. It was a very large family from CA who was there for their family reunion. They invited us to join them & we were immediately welcomed in by the whole family. There was also another girl celebrating her bday (36th) as well – made for a big party into the night 🎉 What a way to celebrate a milestone bday!
