As we drove through the Texas panhandle I thought it would be funny to go to the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo. This is the place where if you eat the 72 ounce steak they give it to you for free. We did chose not to take on this challenge and ordered 12 ounce [...]
On the 21st day we visited the Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. It was a good choice in my opinion. We toured the cliff dwellings and imagined what it would be like to live in them. This guy was annoying. He kept getting into every picture I was taking. Him and his life partner [...]
We left Las Vegas and traveled on toward the Zion National Park in southern Utah. By this time in the trip I was getting sick of hiking and I couldn’t remember why I wanted to go to the Zion park although it may have been I liked the name. On the road to Zion I [...]
We ended up in Las Vegas. It was not on our plan to go there since we had already been there and didn’t see much in it for us. It seems like everything you can get there we can get at home in Detroit. We have casino gambling, strip clubs, dance clubs playing bad music, [...]
After visiting Yosemite we drove to the Mono Vista RV Park in Lee Vining, CA. It was a pretty decent place. It did have pay showers which we thought was a little strange. I did not realize anybody still did that. It had clean bathrooms and a nice dog walk area. In the morning we [...]
After we left Monterrey we drove toward Yosemite. I had planned for us to stop a couple hours from the park and drive the rest of the way in the morning since it was already late afternoon when we left. Somehow the campground was not where our GPS said it should be and apparently we [...]
We camped in Big Sur Campground in Big Sur, CA. It was in a wooded area amongst Redwoods and along a river. Here is the van in our campsite to show the scale of some of the tall trees. It seems the Coastal Redwoods are pretty common. This was a few yards from our site. [...]
A few days ago we visited Monterrey, CA. It is a good area for a vacation with many restaurants and activities for families and tourists. We visited the Aquarium there which is the largest one I have ever seen My favorite exhibit was called the Kelp Forest. It was a tank about the size of [...]

On the twelth day of our vacation we went into San Francisco again. This time we went back to Japantown for a about an hour and then to the Haight section of the city. I was hoping it would be a good place to go shopping. I was kinda dissapointed. I thought they would have [...]
