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.
