Czech That Film - San Francisco 28.- 29. 3. 2105

This weekend we spent in San Francisco. Roxie theater was hosting Czech film festival and I couldn't miss the opportunity to hear Czech language on the big screen! We went for movie Clownwise on Saturday evening, and stayed overnight in a hotel. The next day we went first to Exploratorium to "play around", then to pier 39 for lunch and in the afternoon for the second movie Fair Play.

Peter Grubb Hut 21. - 22. 3. 2015

Alan managed to reserve Peter Grubb hut for this weekend and we were lucky to be invited. The trail to the hut is only about 3 miles long. The weather was nice, and even though we started close to 11 am, we were at the hut for lunch. After lunch some people went for short hike, some just relaxed. In the morning the weather didn't look so great, so instead of planned short hike we just packed up and went back. Before we got ready, the sun got through the clouds and we had nice hike back.

Alanovi se podarilo zarezervovat chatu Peter Grubb pro tento vikend, a my jsme byli take pozvani. Cesta k chate je jen asi 3 km dlouha. Pocasi bylo pekne, a tak i kdyz jsme vyrazili za skoro v 11, byli jsme v chate na obed. Po obede sli nekteri na prochazku, nekdteri odpocivali. Rano pocasi nevypadalo uplne nejlepe a tak misto planovane kratke prochazky jsme se jen zabalili a sli zpet. Nez jsme vyrazili slunicko se prodralo zkrz mraky a my jsme meli hezkou cestu zpet.

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.

It is becoming a tradition that we go the Martin Luther King Jr. long weekend to Lake Tahoe. It is also becoming a tradition that there is not much snow :( Despite the lack of snow, we had still fun. On Saturday, the whole group went for a short hike, on Sunday Eric and I went Royal Gorge for cross country skiing. On Monday we checked out and drove back. San Jose Sharks were playing against New Jersey Devils. Even with Jaromir Jagr not playing, there were still 4 other Czech players on ice, so great game!

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.

Tento rok jsme zustali na vanoce doma v Kalifornii, ale hned den pote jsme se vydali za snehem. Leteli jsme do Kanady. Vetsinu nasi dovolene jsme ztravili v narodnim parku Banff.

Czech Christmas dinner and Christmas party 20. - 21. 12. 2014

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.
