Snow Trip to the Sierras - March 21-22, 2009

Dulce and I joined Laurie and Maggie on a roadtrip to the Sierras for the weekend in search of snow in which to play.

On the way, we stopped at the Ironstone Vineyard, in Murphys, to enjoy their Daffodil Days festival.

We headed next to Big Trees where there was still snow on the ground. This is the first time Dulce has been in the snow.

The next morning, we awoke in the cabin (owned by Laurie's friend Lori) where we were staying in Arnold to find about 5 inches of fresh snow on the ground. Laurie, Lori and I shoveled the driveway. Lori's daughter, Sierra, and her friend Kayla sledded in the yard. All while the dogs played. What fun!

A walk to a nearby forest enabled us to walk in the pristine snowfall. The dogs had fun making fresh tracks and playing: Dulce, Maggie, Cocoa and Lizzy (Lori's Rottweilers). We couldn't have asked for a better morning!
