We took a summer vacation through 10 states. We went through Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona and California. I just wanted to share a few pictures. We had a chance to go to some amazing places. We went to Yellowstone, Devil’s Tower, Little Big Horn, Deadwood, Sturgis, Fort Collins, Georgetown, and Durango. Hope you enjoy.
We went back east to visit long term friends. We had a great time traveling the Shenandoah Valley State Park and taking time to visit a local navy base. Always nice to visit friends and get an opportunity to see nature at its best.
We just returned from a fabulous trip to Santa Cruz County, near the town of Pescadero. So many beautiful hiking trails along the coast! You could never pick out the best one. Most of the trails in Ana Nuevo State Park lead to the ocean. This was a great time to go exploring and hiking. It was, however, a bit muddy. I hope you enjoy the few pictures I have selected to post. I always enjoy your comments!
Ray and I decided to go up to Calaveras County for Thanksgiving this year..We wanted to spend time with our youngest, Kelsey, her Fiancé, Mark, and his parents. We all decided to go to Big Trees. We had a great time. Here are a few pictures.
Rayleen and I went camping out in Desert Hot Springs. It certainly is a hot desert and hope does spring eternal. 29 Palms does have an artsy aspect to it. We found some strange and interesting places.
In 29 Palms we visited: 1) Pioneertown, an old Hollywood set for westerns, now a tourist attraction with interesting buildings and a real cool eatery. 2) Christ Park, an exhibit of New Testament moments. 3) The Institute of Metaphysics, 4) Noah Purifoy Desert Art is a fine collection of desert art made, I think, mostly from found items. 5) These last three places were located next to each other: Crochet Museum, Bubble Beauty Salon and Joshua Tree Saloon. All very interesting and worth a visit. The hamburgers at the saloon were incredible.
Ray and I just got back from an amazing trip. We went to Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Italy. We went to UNESCO World Heritage Sites at Plitvice and Split. We also we to Sarajevo, Dubrovnik, Postojna Cave, St. Marks, Venice, Trestie, Zagreb and so much more. It was a great trip. We were there for two weeks. A fun and exciting trip. Hope you enjoy a few of the pictures.
You can do this in any order. But this is what I would recommend. First stop USS Midway at 910 N Harbor Drive. There is really quite a bit to do there: street vendors, kissing statue, USO dedication, and of the ship. Then a stop at Balboa Park so very much to do there. There is the Model Railroad Museum, the Fleet Science Center, the Eva Everson Fountain, several art museums and just so much more than that, you could spend a day there. Next we went to the L Frank Baum House at 1101 Star Park Cir. Next we went Coronado Ferry Landing. Then we headed down to Imperial beach, then Sliver Strand Beach and then Coronado Hotel and Central Beach and also tried to find the sunken ship. Lastly we went to 1107 Orange ave, McP’s Irish Bar, had some drinks and food. There are so many things toes and do including many wonderful restaurants and bars. This was our day trip. Yours could be different.

I’m going to start a local travel series. It will usually features local excursions. The trips will usually be in California. The trips will be local to most people who view my website. Usually I will include a things to see and do list in the written section of the web page. This is the first and will not include everything I just mentioned. This little excursion was to Pismo Beach, Montana De Oro, Port Luis, Avila, and Los Osos.. All of these places deserve a visit or a stay.
Ray and I went hiking up in Northern California. Mark and Kelsey were also on some of the hikes. Fun times visiting the beauty of Northern California. We also made a trip out to Jack London’s ranch which was very cool. We spent times in breweries and just enjoying nature. Here are a few of the pictures.
