 | Medical mission completed, we depart Loma Linda Univ. Med. Ctr. |
|
 | ...headed up the coast through
LA and then Santa Barbara (above) |
|
 | Just north of Santa Barbara we passed these vineyards. |
|
 |
 | Coast near San Simeon. Dad said
I should win an award for this pic ; ) |
|
 | "Take the picture!
I'm not stepping back any further!" |
|
 | I don't think I'll be doing any surfing here along the San Simeon coast! |
|
|
 | We stopped in Cambria to check out this vintage automobilia store. |
|
 | Peter, owner of the store, holding a $5,000 crystal hood ornament! |
|
 | And now it's on to visit the famous Hearst Castle! |
|
|
 | I told Dad I only wanted to stop at places with swimming pools! |
|
 | Preferably both an outdoor and an indoor pool, please! |
|
 | Oh, and it would be nice if it had a decent view as well. |
|
|
 | Talking to Mom as we begin the beautiful drive up the Big Sur! |
|
 | These roads are curvy, Dad.
You sure you took Driver's Ed? |
|
 | Now that's an incredible 100 mile drive we won't forget for a long time! |
|
|
 | Next it's San Francisco! View from hotel room. Alcatraz in background. |
|
 | Dad's credit card really got a workout here at Pier 39! |
|
 | There was quite a crowd at Pier 39 that day! Sea lions included! |
|
|
 | At the pier we took a break to make some souvenir candles! |
|
 | Here I am chatting with my new friend, a "living statue"! |
|
 | A more famous statue! The Thinker by Rodin at Legion of Honor. |
|
|
 | You can't visit San Francisco without riding the cable cars! |
|
 | Or without driving down Lombard, the Crookedest Street in the World! |
|
 | Our hotel was right next to the Triangle Building and Chinatown. |
|
|
 | At the San Francisco Wax Museum
I was scared stiff by Beetlejuice... |
|
 | ...ran into the one and only
Sylvester Stallone as Rambo... |
|
 | ...and Dad saw one of his old classmates, Abe Lincoln. |
|
|
 | One last look at the Pacific Ocean at San Francisco's Seal Rock. |
|
 | Thanks to a wrong turn by Dad, we were temporarily lost in Oakland. |
|
 | A classic car on the way to Hot August Nights car rally in Reno, NV. |
|
|
|
 | We had a blast visiting
The Biggest Little City in the World! |
|
 | There's still more to come!
Utah, Nebraska and Iowa! |
