Where's Yogie?

We went to Yosemeti National Park. However we did not see any bears. We did see a deer who was munching on some food three feet away from us. I was startled by the deer but he was not startled by me.

The Sequoia Trees are huge and old. They do not get their red color until they are at least 300 years old. We hiked up two miles to find the fallen tree.

Waterfalls - amazing!!!

John went wadding in the freezing water.

Beautiful sites.

Next stop San Francisco.

Wow! Vacation.....

I know it has been a while since I have blogged. Have been vacationing and then I was locked out of my blog. Eric came to the rescue again. Thanks Eric.

I have been to three different coast in a month's time. I was in South Carolina,
California and then at the Gulf Coast.

JR and I saw lots of California. We both lived in California as children and JR also went to boot camp in San Diego so we wanted to visit many places while we were their. We flew into Los Angles and then rented a car, a convertible, and continued on to our firt destination.

First we went to the San Diego Zoo. We spent seven hours their and saw so many different and endangered species. The plant life was also amazing because the exihibits for the animals were created using the animals natural habitats.

During the next few days we visited the military bases and the San Diego coast. We also stayed in a fabulous hotel with an upclose few of the airport.

We took a cruize in the bay.

This is all for now. Check in later as we continue up the coast to Yosemite National Park, San Francisco and the wine country in Napa Valley.
