What better way to usher in the summer season, than a trip to the Sierras. A group of 4 of us (my husband David, my sister Margaret and her husband Jess) drove up to Kernville and camped out on the Kern River for three nights. The weather was hot during the day and cool at night, and each night we made a campfire and gazed at the thousands of stars in the sky (in LA you never get to see the stars!) David and I kayaked (in our inflatable kayaks) but I opted out before attempting the "Ewings Rapid" (class 3, but certain to flip my boat). On Sunday, we took a trip up to the Sequoia Grove and marveled at the trees....over 1000 years old. It was like an outdoor cathedral. Very humbling to stare at those trees and realize that some were standing there before the Roman Empire. And they'll be standing there long after we're gone. Now, back to reality...I'm preparing for the three weddings I'll be singing in this summer, and a huge show with my dad at Vitello's on July 28. Stay posted!
