Honeymoon in CA

July 26th will be our 6th wedding anniversary! Wow...we are just as shocked as probably you are that it's been 6 years. It is pretty rare we are together on our anniversary, and if we are usually at a concert venue surrounded by people. Yeah, not as romantic as you might think. So, this year Cody took it all upon himself to plan a trip for us (I got stuck on calling it a honeymoon and actually like that!). I didn't have really any part of the planning process, which looking back surprises me! Without a doubt, the trip was amazing and Cody took care of everything! Here are some pictures from our week in CA.

Cody took me to In-N-Out Burger for the first time. He L-O-V-E-S his In-N-Out and I was skeptical that a burger good be that great for people all over the country to talk about. But, the minute I bit into my cheeseburger animal style I feel in love! That was a damn good burger!

We stayed at a B&B in Redding, CA called O'Brien Mountain Inn. Amazing people, food, cottage!

This is on the patio of our treehouse cottage. It was literally a treehouse on stilts and it swayed when the wind blew or one of us would walk around. It was kind freaky at first, but then it was kinda of like being in a soft swing at times.

we are too much brie, ok maybe i ate too much

Cody says, "Onward Hikers!"

Tuesday we hiked Castle Crags near Mt. Shasta and it was pretty awesome!

We found this great overlook. Cody walked around most of the time and took pictures, but I found a chair carved out of rock made just for me! I'm serious...it was really comfortable.
Thankfully we were under a ton of tall trees a lot of the hike. It was around 103 degrees in Redding that week, but under the shade it was cool and breezy.

We took a side trail for a bit and found a small water fall called Indian Springs. It was a cool and refreshing break.

At the top of the Crags!

Who knew I'm a bit freaked out about heights? Cody that's who! He had to deal with me and my new found insecurity! You can see Mt. Shasta in the background. It was really beautiful!

We were able to drive halfway up (7,000 ft) Mt. Shasta which is around 14,000 ft total.

That was our first day in CA! We went back to our treehouse and soaked in a hot tub with wine. Now, that is what I call roughing it!
