I emailed la familia lee, but DanDan said I should put it in our blog...

Summer 2007....anyone want to go whitewater rafting in the Bay Area? When can people get together this summer? July 4th weekend? This is on the South Fork of the American River and is about a 2.5h drive from SF....it's an overnight rafting/camping trip, meals are provided.

December 2007....we've been talking about maybe doing it in the Bay Area, w/home base @ Uncle Kenny's & our house...and doing day trips. I'm thinking of....

1) http://www.circuscenter.org/classes/groups.html: in San Francisco....Group trapeze, acrobatics, tumbling--our family already does the acrobatics formations every year on our own! Now we can get professional help!

2) http://www.caverntours.com/MoCavRt.htm: Moaning caverns is a few hour drive from where we live. You repel down 165 feet into the caves, then wiggle/squirm/crawl/climb your way through the cool caves/formations called like....the pancake, Godzilla's nostril, etc. I've done this before and it's supercool!

3) http://www.gokartracer.com/team_building.html: family go kart racing! This is only about a 30 minute drive from our house.

4) http://www.esalen.org/place/hot_springs.shtml: These are hot springs on the Pacific Ocean!!! But it's at a new age/yoga/inner growth workshop place and they don't take family gatherings. They only take groups of 4 at a time and can only do 20 total at a time. The dude told me we'd have to make 5 reservations of 4 in a sneaky way....we'll see if I can figure it out. We'd have to be quiet and orderly there.

What do you guys think? I'm trying to find more activities. There's tons of great ethnic food to eat here. Too bad we can't do whitewater rafting in December--that'd be a great family outing.

love you all,
Auntie W!
