Natural Beauty!

I have noticed a few things of natural beauty in the past week.  One of them undoubtely is the 2012 Dodge Caravan....  For our reorientation in San Jose, my JV house needed a car that could fit all seven of us, and this one was AMAZING!  All my previous ideas of minivans (copious amounts of goldfish crackers on the floor, functional but unstylish body, and the golfcart engine...)  were shattered!  The engine was fast and economical and there was a surroundsound system complete with green accent lighting that lit up the roof of the van (dance floor anyone?).  In all honesty, it was frankly just nice having all my housemates in one car together.  Everyother time we have traveled before, there have been two cars, two playlists, two sets of 20 questions...  so it was nice to finally have everyone on the same page!

On the way back from the retreat, we saw the other natural beauty of Sequoia National Park.  Even though the two hour detour was actually a 6 hour detour, it was still worth the trip!  After getting into the park, we drove 15mph on switch backs up the mountain as we ascended  the additional 4,000 feet to the top.  The red of the sequoias was so beautiful with the white snow on the ground and the air was so crisp!  Here's some cool pictures:
