May 5, 2002  Our third trip with Sierra from Aliso Woods to Top of the World

	This time Sierra wanted to walk and run at the beginning.
	She is wide awake today and in the mood for some fun running with gramps.  She ran and walked for a good half mile before getting in her baby jogger.
	At the Top of the World an hour later.
	The Top of the World park has become one of her favorites!
	Mimi Healy, an old family friend who lives on Top of the World, spotted Michelle in the park while walking her dog.  Mimi showed us a new short secondary trail with even more super mountain range views at the far side of the park.
	We took Mimi's route and connected to  Alta Laguna which we knew takes us to the Meadow Trail we used to cycle on years ago.
	Sierra enjoying the Meadow trail.
	This trail is even steeper, but has been designed with many switchbacks. A favorite with cyclists.  They 20 or so who passed us on the long way down also thought we were crazy to be doing it with a baby jogger.  Michelle controlled the jogger on the way down (carefully) and really zoomed.  She loved it.  I cruised down ahead and chatted with the cyclists while waiting for Michelle.
	Estimating an 11 mile roundtrip run and hike today.  Back in the Aliso Woods parking lot.  Sierra always likes to sit in Grandpa's Porsche.
	Hi Mommy.  Do I look cute in Grandpa's bright red sports car?
