I hear Helen Reddy in my head singing I am woman, hear me roar.

Yes, I’ve hit a milestone. I celebrated my 50th birthday on October 21st of this year. I am a birthday purist so the event had to be marked on the actual date and by something spectacular – and Yosemite is about as spectacular as it gets. Pair that with a visit to Sonoma wine country and you have a great adventure!

Here are some photos!
