We arrived at GBNP late on Sunday evening, just before the sun began to set. Just enough daylight still to setup camp, prepare a quick meal, and watch the sun set over the mountains. Surprisingly, there is no fee to the park and camping was a mere $12 per night...
We spent Imelda’s final full-day in California in San Francisco at the Palace of Fine Arts and Exploratorium (we decided to leave Fisherman’s Wharf off the schedule). Again, it had been years since our last visit and many things had changed or been updated. The weather had not improved over...
Following our birthday, the three of us spent the day in Santa Cruz and the beach boardwalk. While I was hoping to get some nice California weather, we did not. Instead, it was a day at the beach in 60-degree weather. The water was warmer then the outside air, though...

Well, day #1 is gone and Day #2 is nearing an end. The first day was exclusively driving, from Colorado into and through Wyoming, about 9 hours in total. We got to within an hour of Grand Teton Ntnl Park before stopping on the side of the road. We all...
Only a few days after returning from our early road trip, a phone call came in from my Mother back in CA. The mum needed some help, and everyone in the family was coming to the call, myself included (private matter, but not health related at least). I was back...
