Vacation in California

We made a day trip to San Francisco. Our first stop was Pier 39 which is soooo much fun. We ate at Bubba Gumps Seafood Restaraunt and walked the pier. There are tons of fun things on the pier - the fruit market being one of them. I really wanted some cherries, but I thought they were too expensive, only to find out they were the same price in the grocery store! Anyway, the fruit was wonderful! This is Lora Beth (Laura) Jennings. I renamed her when we lived in California. I thought she needed a southern name. She is my dear, dear, friend!

We visited a Maritime Museum in San Fran. Devin is standing in front of a beautiful (cut glass) top of an old light house! Isn't this ama-za-zing!!

There's a hotel in Union Square in San Fran, called the St. Francis. They have an all glass elevator in their hotel that probably you'd have to be a quest to know it existed. However, since we have friends in high places (Karl & Sharon!!) , they told us about it. It goes 32 stories high and this is the view from the elevator. It's incredible! We rode the elevator several times so we could see everything. And...it's free. You just act like a guest and get on!

Another day trip ... this time to Lake Tahoe! Oh ... my ... goodness!!! And my favorite color is blue, so everywhere you look is blue ... sky ... lake. We rode a "Gondala", (an enclosed ski lift) 7,000 ft. up and got off to this beautiful view. The sun was intense, and the wind was a little cool. Weird combo. We then got back on the ski lift and rode to 9,000 ft. and there was no view so we didn't bother getting off.

This is Jeff driving around Lake Tahoe. We started at the south shore and drove around the north shore, so you have this gorgeous view the whole way.

On the drive to north shore, Dev just couldn't hold out anymore! However, there is a gorgeous view out his window too! Here we are back at the Jennings house - relaxing. Even Sadie (the dog) joins the party!
