More travel pics

Okay... so you suffered through the interminable post documenting our trip to California... Here are more pics - with less reading. :)

First, I must say that the worst part of a road trip (besides the fear of getting sleepy driving) is dealing with the speed limits. I did pretty well, though... MOST of the time.

I may have sped for a bit... but I got home faster!
Sorry about the dusty dashboard. It's time to detail.


Beverly Hills? In Nevada?
I have a feeling that it's just not the same...



Have you ever noticed that towns, especially in Utah, often put the letters for their city on nearby mountains? It appears that Battle Mountain drew the short straw in that situation...

Sorry, Battle Mountain!


I LOVED my time visiting Mark and Ellie. Their new place is great, and they were such fun to chat with! Plus, I got to hold cute little Sylvie and Hannah had a dedicated playmate!

Mark, napping with Sylvie. Adorable!


Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco
Yummy!!!



Cool sourdough bread critters
The kids loved them!



On Pier 39 with cousin Griffin


Did you notice that sign behind the kids?
Yep! Stay classy, San Francisco!!!



A cone at the Jelly Belly factory on our way to Sacramento


Not too many pics with Gecky and Shana, but we had great fun playing Guitar Hero and AI Karaoke. Love you guys!


We drove by our old house, to remind Hannah.
Not much has changed... except there's a stop sign there now.



Then we headed to Karin and Larry's
for Sunday afternoon Conference and family dinner.
Hannah, Becky, and Shana out front


Larry, Karin, and Hector the cat


Then we had to bid California and the fabulous weather good bye and head back to Utah... (wipe a tear!)

I saw this cool old truck on the road home and had to snap a quick pic!
Isn't it gorgeous?!!
