Well, this is the second time I've tried to write this entry! I poured my heart into the first one and now we've popped open our second bottle of wine so...ya know. OK. So. We started out waking up at 6 30 READY for the Half Dome climb. We really did try!!!! To our dismay it was pouring down rain and the forecast was not looking good. It was sad, our beloved Half Dome is going to have to wait until our next California adventure. Our feet are swollen and blistered from the night before! Ouuuch! We went back to sleep after realizing this was not going to happen, and woke up later after check out time....oops! Our drive out of Yosemite was sightly, which was no surprise seeing as though all of Cali is the ... read more

After our previous night of not sleeping, we accumulated a good 15 hours each. So, unlike the being loopy from lack of, we were loopy from too much sleep! It was onto the Sequoia National Park. Wow, the redwoods are huge!! There were trees you can walk through, trees you can sit in, lay in, or as Jordan thought about doing, eat lunch in. Deer and chip monks roamed the park, and big fat squirrels enjoyed climbing up the redwoods. While hiking through the Park, we soon realized it was important to keep an eye on the sky.

To start our last day in San Fran, Jordan and I got some coffee and went to the SFMOMA. We saw beautiful paintings by Dali, Stella, Brancusi, and lots of others.

We then met back up with our new friend Michael for dinner at his work, Sens restaurant where we had delicious drinks, appetizers, dinner, and desert. The rest of the night was just totally crazy ahem... anyway, we are now hanging out for our last night in the hotel room! We've had such an amazing time in San Fracisco it will be sad to say goodbye!!!!... read more

Ohhhhh myyyyy goooddd!!!! We left Santa Rosa this morning! And onto our new destination, San Francisco! First thing we did was walk the Golden Gate Bridge. The views were astonishing. There were lots of other people enjoying the scenery as well, all of which were so friendly. Then it was China Town time. We shopped around for a little too long....because of this we actually missed our boat for Alcatraz!!! OOPS! But all was still good, we got on standby for the next boat. The ferry took us across the menacing waters of San Francisco Bay. The currents were strong and the boat was rocking around! And then.....we saw a whale! : ) We walked around Alcatraz for about 2 hours, it was SO COOL! We learned lots about the Prison such as -The location of ... read more
