california dreamin'

Well, we're back from our lovely week-long vacation to CA. All in all, it was pretty good--except for getting sick, both car and otherwise.

Our first stop was Lake Tahoe. It was gorgeous, especially with all of the trees and waterfalls. (And Launi being there helped with that, too.)









Next came Yosemite and our first bout of carsickness. (Hint: It's not a good idea to read while driving through the Sierra Nevadas.)


















But in the end, the sights were worth seeing.

The next big stop was in San Francisco. (We think Launi might have actually left her heart there.) This was my first time seeing the Golden Gate Bridge and the Rock (Alcatraz, not the pro wrestler).














And of course there's Lumbard Street and Chinatown.




















And what vacation wouldn't be complete without a visit to Death Valley. (Why? Only Dennis knows . . .)

That's a lot of driving, but sounds like a blast. Should have sent us a postcard though, I guess "The Rock" kinda looks like a mound, it's a pretty good looking mound.

Launi - why no pics of the most exciting part of your trip - ie: Santa Cruz! I mean, besides the fact that you and Josh (and the rest of the family) were throwing up most of the time - it was fun, right?

we don't have any pics of santa cruz! we didn't bring our camera that day when we went down to the beach, but we're planning on getting copies from mom and dad. the rest of the days that we were with you we were all too sick to care about pictures. but it WAS still fun. tell courtney thanks for playing chutes and ladders with me...and candyland.
