                    <description>So we have completed our last full day here on the West Coast and it39s been another lovely warm day.We headed for another hearty breakfast this morning and then made our way to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for 1030. After our first visit there at the beginning of the holiday in the rain and the fainting incident with Luke our nerves were a little on edge. However there was no need to worry the</description>

The kids held on the rails preferring this method rather than the</description>

                    <description>Overnight storms gave way to a sunny morning in Monterey so a trip to Carmel Beach was in order. Armed with our box of seedless green and black grapes we sat on the sand and waited and sure enough the wee squirrels came out of the undergrowth and took grapes out of our hands when they weren39t helping themselves out of the cartonLuke managed to get a cut finger on the first attempt which swore</description>

                    <title>FIRST Horse ride ever</title>
                    <description>We headed to the Sunset Ranch near the Hollywood sign to go on an hour39s horse ride through Griffith Park. The horses tend to walk near the edge of the path by the drop down the mountain which made it interesting. This was a first for Dawn Ellie and I and it was a thrill not for the fainthearted but not to be missed. Adding to the excitement a number of fire dept and news helicopters hover</description>

Then followed 8 miles of walking down the beach path and back to the weird and wacky Venice beach l</description>

                    <description>Luke turned 12 today so after picking up greetings from family via text and on our blog we set off on the freeways to Sherman Oaks Castle Park and the baseball batting cages. Wow doesn39e even a 40 mph baseball seem very fast and hard to hit. We all had a go with our supplied helmets and bats then after a few root beers and pink lemonades we headed for the DASH boutique of Kardashian family </description>

                    <title>The Family Rental Car</title>
                    <description>Just a quick entry on our big car. It39s a Dodge Grand Caravan which is very roomy and comfortable with marvellous AirCon and seven seats and adequate boot space for 5 cases etc.However it handles like the Titanic as far as acceleration is concerned with it39s automatic gearbox. It weighs 2 tons and only does 24 to the gallon on a long run Gas is about half the price of the UK. It has a 3.</description>

We stopped at the Wayfarers Chapel where a wedding was in progress in possibly the most picturesque chapel in the world made from glass and timber in a Redwood grove. Continuing on we passed the beaches of South bay until we came to picturesque El Segundo beach with it</description>

                    <description>At last the dawn broke on a sunny Southern California morning of blue skies and 70 degrees. We joined the throng to the park by about 8.30am and it wasn39t too busy for a Bank Holiday. Using the Fastpass ticket system we rode the main rides the kids wanted including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Space Mountain Autopia Indiana Jones Haunted Mansion.

                    <description>Having watched the sun come up over the desert dunes we drove into the heart of Death Valley. Temperatures reached 93 degrees F. Extraordinary place with rugged mountains and different colours of stone. A couple of times coyotes wandered on to the road and were reluctant to get off again. Finally we escaped miles of deserted roads and reached civilisation but not as we know it.. Las Vegas.This was</description>

                    <description>Today we set off from Fresno on a 332 mile journey to Death Valley. Satnav was convinced it was going to take forever but it just took agesWe stopped at a Subway in the middle of the desert and it had exactly the same menu as everywhere else.The journey into the valley is like crossing the mountains of the moon with fantastic scenery and salt lakes not to mention harpin bends and high climbs whic</description>

                    <description>What a glorious day in the giant valley. We drove for three hours up into the mountains with thick snow beside the roads to the National Park of Yosemite. the 20 entrance fee was well worth it to see the huge waterfalls sheer granite mountains and ancient trees. This place must rank as one of the most stunning landscapes on earth. We took loads of photos and will upload some soon.  We decided to</description>

                    <description>We awoke to rain and forecasts of thunderstorms which stopped our cablecar and bike ride plans. We headed over Golden Gate bridge via beautiful Sausalito to the Bay Model which is an actual model of the Bay area filling a space equivalent of two football fields inside a large shed run by the Army Corps.After a wee while there we headed for Napa and a factory outlets but nobody could be bothered go</description>

                    <description>We were all awake by 6am local time which wasn39t too bad. After a breakfaast of various tasty muffins and corn falkes we headed off to walk to the crooked part of Lombard Street on an overcast morning. Then we climbed to the 150 foot tall coit tower but it was too misty to pay to go up it as the views were limited. Then off for a walk to Chinatown arriving at the interesting and unique cable c</description>

They even had me emptying all the cases off the trolley on the way out of the airport to search for smuggled fruits or</description>
