Yosemite Bug - Yosemite Falls 14.-15. 3. 2015

Josh was organizing again a group trip to Yosemite Bug and day hike in Yosemite. Originally it was supposed to be snowshoeing trip to Dewey point, but due to lack of snow he had to change the destination. Instead we hiked up to the top of Yosemite falls, which is beautiful, but relatively challenging hike. In the evening we had fun chatting with the group. On Sunday we drove straight home, since Eric had to do some work.

Josh znovu organizoval jeho skupinovy vylet do hostelu Yosemite Bug a denni vyslap v Yosemitech. Puvodne to mel byt vyslap na sneznicich k Dewey point, ale protoze nebylo dost snehu, tak musel zmenit cil cesty. Misto toho jsme vysli k hornim Yosemitskym vodopadum. Tento vyslap je s nadhernymi vyhledy, ale docela narocny. Vecer jsme si povidali se skupinou. V nedeli jsme pak jeli primo domu, jelikoz Eric musel pracovat.

Sequoia National park 21.-22. 2. 2015

Some time ago Groupon had an offer for a lodge in Sequoia NP. Since we don't go to this national park too often, we decided to try it. Saturday was a beautiful day and we did three shorter hikes with a nice views with about 9 miles total. We went up Big Baldy, Little Baldy and Moro rock. On Sunday the weather wasn't that great, it started to snow in the morning. Firstly we were planning on doing a short hike anyway, but because it was more rain with snow, we changed our minds and drove back home.

Pred nejakym casem Groupon mel nabidku na ubytovani v chate v narodnim parku Sequoia. Jelikoz do tohoto narodniho parku moc casto nejezdime, rozhodli jsme se to zkusit. V sobotu byl nadherny den a zvadli jsme tri vyslapy s nadhernymi vyhledy dohromady asi 15 km. Vysli jsme na Big Baldy, Litle Baldy a Moro rock. V nedeli pocasi nebylo tak uzasne, zacalo snezit hned rano. Nejdrive jsme meli v planu jit na vyslap i tak, ale protoze to byl vice dest se snehem, rozmysleli jsme si to a jeli domu.

Canada - Banff - Calgary 26.12. 2014 - 2.1. 2015

This year we stayed for Christmas at home in California, but the day after we left for some snow fun. We flew to Canada. Most of our holiday we spent in Banff national park. Even thought it was quite cold, we were quite lucky and the weather was great. We did some hiking (not enough snow for snowshoeing), cross country skiing, ice skating and dog sledding. In the end of the week we went to Calgary, but except for seeing the Olympic park, there was not much to do in the city. So for our last full day, we drove back to Banff.

December is always busy month, this year it felt even busier, so we had to squeeze both of our traditional holidays celebration to one weekend. On Saturday we hosted our annual Czech Christmas dinner. This year I decided to switch carp for another white fish, and bread crumbs for almonds. It was success! It was nice to see everybody again!
On Sunday we invited our non-Czech friends for a party. We played our traditional games - guessing in a stocking, opening presents in oven mittens, white elephant exchange and pictionary. It was fun evening.

New homemade storage bed 30.11. 2014

Eric and I decided to give ourselves a king size bed for Christmas. We started to look around, but we didn't see anything we liked. We wanted to be able to use the space under the bed for a storage also. Then we found a type of bed that we liked, but at one place they made it in queen size only, in the other place the bed with shipping was for about $1000. Solution came when I run into a instruction for a bed on Youtube and Eric adjusted it to our needs. We bought wood in Home Depot, had it cut there, and in one afternoon Eric built it. Meanwhile we were waiting for shocks, we bought a new mattress. To finish the bed with the last piece took a few hours. Now we are enjoying the extra space on bed and under bed.

Eric a ja jsme se rozhodli si dat k vanocum velkou postel. Zacali jsme se se poohlizet, ale nevideli jsme nic, co by se nam libilo. Chteli jsme mit take prostor pod posteli pro ukladani veci. Pak jsme nasli typ postele, ktera se nam libila, ale v jednom obchode ji meli jen v mensi velikosti, a v druhem postel i s postovnim stala kolem $1000. Reseni se naslo, kdyz jsem narazila na navod na postaveni postele na Youtube a Eric jej predelal k nasim potrebam. Drevo jsme koupili v Home Depot, tam nam ho i narezali, a behem jednoho dne Eric postel postavil. Mezitim co jsme cekali na zvedaky, koupili jsme novou madraci. Na dokonceni potele stacilo par hodin. Ted si uz uzivame vice mista na i pod posteli.
