Today was a winding road

Sunday was a VERY long day. We woke up at 3 am to get an early start on our trip to Yosemite National Park. The day was mostly wonderfully perfect, EXCEPT for the part when I threw up twice by the side of the rode. The early start combined with messing with my routine, combined with very winding rodes = puke city.

6 am, up near Glacier Point. With the sun just having come up we had an amazing view of the Half Dome, and at least three waterfalls. Yosemite is beautiful, and even better when you beat the crowds.

Glacier Point, Overhang rock

Tunnel Valley View

Fallen Tree in the Mariposa Grove Trails where we did a long hike (in flip flops) to see the Giant Sequoia trees. I loved them!!

California Tunnel Tree.

An all around awesome day of site seeing in Yosemite. We even managed to get home and have a couple beers in the pool.

CANADA in 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Say it Frenchy!

Well, what can I say about San Francisco... It was COLD....foggy...windy...did I mention it was cold. But it was also a fantastic trip. We barely scraped the surface, I would have loved a week to fully explore the city. We arrived in San Fran Friday night just in time to hit the Wharf and see the sun set over Alcatraz.

The next day we got up early to pick up our GO CAR for the day. Little yellow GPS guided cars that tell stories along the way. The Go Cars were super fun, but the scenery was a tad foggy.

Golden Gate Bridge.

I only had to get out and push on one particularly steep hill, kind of made it more funny.

After we gave back the Go Cars we went to the BEST restaurant called Capurro's, and had delicious steamed mussels and a seafood bowl. It was a fantastic unforgettable lunch, and I got to wear a cool bib.

Saturday night after a little shopping we went for dinner in China town.

Sunday morning, post card row, the painted ladies.

Tour of Alcatraz. This would be my room with the 'Paint by Numbers'.

Finally the afternoon we were leaving the fog lifted and we could see the whole bridge.

I would LOVE to go back!!!!!!!!!!

Viva Las Vegas

Vivaaaaaaaaaaaaa Lasssssssssss Vegas- Welcome to Fabulous LAS VEGAS-

We arrived late Thursday night and was welcomed by sin city. We checked into the MGM Grand, and decided to go for a quick wonder. The next day we set out very early for a VERY long drive to the Grand Canyon, and grand it was. The sheer size of it is awe-inspiring. We were also lucky enough to have a little piece of it all to ourselves. After running into a local canyon resident, I asked him for some advice. He gave us directions to Shoshone Point on the South Rim, a place barely on the map so that it remains completely crowd free. Apparently they take celebrities there to view the canyon alone.

After the long drive back, of course we needed 1/2 yard glasses of frozen drinky drinks.
MGM Grand in the background.
'O' the Cirque Du Soleil show we saw.
In front of Ceasers Palace.
At the pool where we spent most of Saturday, many pina coladas had.
Bellagio water show for the 4th of July.

My favourite casino, the Venetian.

The Venetian's ceiling was a foe sky, blue with white fluffy clouds.

The MGM Grand has a lion habitat, he was beautiful.

Next weekend is San Francisco.
