 DESTINATION: Yosemite National Park, ÇA

Like Carl said…a strange and serious weather pattern hit the west coast and we got the milder end of it …just lots of rain…but ALL day rain.  Which turned out good at Yosemite because earlier this month no one got to see the beautiful Bridal Veil Falls.

But as we were leaving Santa Monica, I took some pics of some nearby homes in Brentwood, OJ Simpson’s old neighborhood. 

 




As we drove by thousands of acres of vineyards and orchards of some sort…I finally discovered the birthplace of  our favorite winter time snack…Halos!



Most of the drive to Yosemite was fairly mundane but as we got into the Sierra National forest I took many shots.  Then we entered Yosemite Valley and I took some more.  Then we entered Yosemite National Park itself and I had to take more…little did I know that we still had to drive another hour plus to our hotel within the park! 

I tried to take some shots Carl couldn’t fully enjoy as he was trying to keep the car from slipping off into no man’s land.  




Then we hit the mother load!  Through the tunnel and voila!

Oh my gosh, the last pic in this post is amazing. I was wondering about the route you were going to take back to O-H-I-O. Drive safe.

Thanks Bev. Getting to the end was an important step in my completion compulsion. Sandy and I will be hanging around California for a little while, and then fly home, stopping by Nebraska to catch a football game.
