Netsumy took us on a trip to the Yehliu Geopark, to see Queens Head... a very unique and distinctive natural rock formation - the formation is also depicted on our medals that we got at the World Masters event.

We were between looking at colleges in San Francisco for the oldest and going to a Volleyball tournament in Los Angeles for the youngest, and just “stopped by” Yosemite on the way between. We should have planned differently and stayed longer th

My sister and I were on a 3-night tour of Cuba, and on the second full day, we had an awesome day outside of the city.
