Sequoia and CA-1

Yesterday we stayed in a very nice town called San Simeon. It was right across the street from the ocean. Seafood restaurant next door, people walking the streets window shopping and no internet. :(

Well, it had something but not enough to keep me connected.

We spent most of yesterday in Sequoia National Park. It was a bit of a drive until we finally found the massive trees. In fact there wasn't any sign of plant life for a long while. But once we reached the area we were very pleased. We had visited that park before when the boys were young. It has changed, or our memory of it has. We had to walk .4 miles down to the Sherman tree which is the largest on earth and .4 miles straight back up that hill. At that elevation the air is thin. I had to stop to catch my breath. Didn't feel so bad when I saw kids having to rest too. I think Gary could have make it up ok but he was kind enough to wait on me. The picture with Gary behind the sign is where we took the boys picture. We then drove to San Simeon.

Today we drove on CA-1 to San Francisco. It is suppose to be a real beautiful drive and it was. There was a lot of fog in areas. When we could see we would stop and take pictures. It was cold too. In the fog it was about 57 when the sun shined it was about 60-62. I had to pull out my sweatshirt, that is when I noticed I had left my jacket in the hotel last night. I just called them to see if they could ship it to me and when she said she had to check with house keeping and call me in the morning I got a little worried. We drove across the Golden Gate bridge, tried to take pictures but the fog again got in the way. I will try again tomorrow.
