The Weisz Family was looking to see some serious
natural beauty, to get out into the outdoors,
do some hiking and maybe even get in a little
camping. It was also very important to Andrew
that this be a very relaxing trip. A workaholic,
when at home, Andrew was really needing a break
from the grind, and the California outdoors was
the place he was hoping to find it. They would
start their trip with an extended stay with friends
in Los Angeles before setting out with us.
Challenges:
|
|
•
|
Cover a lot of territory without
exhausting the young children. |
|
•
|
Try to find kosher
meat somewhere between Los Angeles and San
Francisco. This proved to be more difficult
than we imagined. |
|
•
|
Find very nice hotels that offered something
a bit out of the ordinary. |
|
•
|
Find great hikes that offered a chance to
get into the outdoors, and see wonderful things,
but were tame enough for the children to handle. |
|
•
|
Incorporate a camping experience into the
holiday for a family that had never tried
it. |
|

Nicole wanted to incorporate some real wilderness
camping into the trip. Being a family from the
big city, who had never tried this before, I was
a little nervous whether I could pull it off,
but after a lengthy email discussion, we all decided
we'd give it a try. Having made the leap of faith,
I set about finding a suitable campground and
locating equipment that they could rent. I eventually
found a rental supplier, and recommended Calaveras
Big Trees State Park, among the giant sequioas
for this one night foray into the unknown.
