Tilden Park - Hike & Steam Trains

We recently went for a hike in Tilden Park and rode the steam trains.  There is so much to explore at this park which also has a lake and a merry-go-round and is just over the hill from Berkeley. You can make a whole day of it or spend the latter part of the day in Berkeley.  We  packed snacks and lunch and then enjoyed dinner in Berkeley before heading home.  If it was up to Luna we would still be there! She loved it. It really is a magical gem here in Northern California.  Take a look at some of the views...

Tourist in my Town: Hidden Falls

We recently went on a family hike in Hidden Falls Regional Park.  We really had no idea what we were getting ourselves into.  I had not been hiking since my single days, and my husband had never been on a hike.  This was a beautiful, but tough adventure, and I cannot wait to do it again. 

At the end of our hike, 6.2 miles later, we completed our hike! 

Here's a funny clip from the beginning of our hike when Luna thought I was running without her.
