During our 40 year career in the Air Force (both Military and Civil Service) we traveled around the world and had an opportunity to live several years in Europe and many states in the US. This August Mike retired for the second and last time so we are ready to embark on RV trips unconstrained by time and schedule. Most of our travels in the US so far have been quick trips, except summer of 2013 when completed our first cross-country RV trip starting in Williamsburg Va through Utah's National Parks, Grand Canyon AZ, NM, TX, Ok, etc...

I've been to Southern Cal but have never seen these sites, very interesting trees and beautiful mountains. I have to say that the selfie picture of Mihyon and Mike in the tram is so funny and cute, it is priceless and might be my favorite picture yet!!! Are you going to see the redwood forest or go to Napa? I love the San Francisco area and would live there if I could have convinced Danny to move there but he refuses to move to California. It is also too expensive and we would probably still be renting with unpaid student loans in the bank!
