Darlene's blog - posted: 10/6/10
Last October, I took a trip to California. I went with my friend Brenda, and
we had lots of fun. We did so many things! We went hiking at Lake
Tahoe. It was amazing there. After the hike, we swam in the beautiful

afternoon, Brenda and I sat in a cafe and drank coffee. I watched the
interesting people there, and Brenda read a book. At night, we ate some

danced all night. That was really a great trip.
