My sister (Jane), Nozomi and I drove to my cousin's house in northern California and spent a four-day weekend with family relaxing, playing games, walking, talking and just having fun. The city of Redding has a VERY hot climate during the summer, so it was actually good timing to visit in the spring this year. The first afternoon, before some of the other family members arrived, we went for a walk along the Sacramento River; the wild flowers were blooming and it was very enjoyable. Paula (my cousin) mentioned that the section where we walked was much more attractive at the time we visited (she's used to seeing it in the summer when it's so hot that there are very few green plants). The water level in the river was unusually high, which made the walk across the bridge a bit unique. Near the end of our visit, we returned to the river and went to another section of the trail where there is a bridge designed by a creative architect. The bridge also functions as a sundial, and has become a bit famous as a local landmark. The design really is quite interesting.
