Last year, we took our first family service trip to Clair Tappaan Lodge in the high Sierras with, appropriately, the Sierra Club. We met wonderful people, including the trip leader Tom, and we enjoyed the experience of working together to support an organization that protects our world. It was, in many ways, an unforgettable experience, and one we were eager to repeat this year. Here, in photos, is our week.
