We’d planned to see the giant sequoias over spring break.
A tiny virus postponed that trip but couldn’t put a damper on our Family Road Trip enthusiasm.
So we improvised :)
Instead of 4 days among the trees, we spent 4 hours car-exploring the...
It’s probably not what you think.
I won’t be recommending any particular drink or supplements or fasting of any kind.

I think French Fry Fanatic is more like it (although, steak fries? Really?)
