Muir Woods

I am starting to see a doctor in Alameda, CA (Dr. John Nieters). He has been one of the best doctor’s I have ever seen. He spends time with you, and really wants to get to the root cause of what is going on. His approach to treatment is much different than the other doctor’s I have seen. I highly recommend his radio talk show podcasts that he provides as well. He has two: The Balancing Point and The Medicine Men. I have learned quite a bit through these shows.

So this new adventure towards health provides me an added bonus of being able to see my amazing sister and her family once a month for a bit. They are a lot of fun. I can’t get enough of the time granted to me to play with my nephews. This past trip in April we visited the Stanford University campus. I think I’m in love! The campus is so beautiful and filled with trees. I had no idea their mascot was the tree. Who knows, perhaps I may look into going to grad school there :)

Saturday we all went up to Muir Woods. It was a pleasant surprised to find that the park was free that day. It’s was National Park’s Week. I LOVE National Parks Week. I think I need to honor it every year.

Muir Woods is so breathtaking. The tall trees are like none else. Tall and red. And can I mention that they are tall.

Ok, Blogger is doing something weird to where I can't rotate my pictures. So stretch your neck, and turn your head...

A very tall tree...

My nephew keep saying, “Common’ let’s go find the woods.” I think we forgot to explain to him what “woods” meant. I think one of his favorite parts of this place was the water.

He loved looking at it. He also kept trying to find sticks. We are wondering if he wanted to go fishing.

I just love this picture and smile :)

There were some trees you could go inside of... his own little house
