California Vacation

By Amanda Anderson

June 14-24, 2000

The chipmunks were all over at Mono Lake State Park.

Prehistoric Mono Lake has weird rock formations.

We had a good lunch near the entrance of Yosemite National Park.

We played in snow in Yosemite National Park.

This is a beautiful alpine meadow in Yosemite.

We rafted down the Merced River in Yosemite Valley.

At Yosemite we slept in tent cabins.

The Sequoias at Sequoia National Park were HUGE.

We got to see a black bear in Sequoia National Park.

The General Sherman tree is the biggest living thing in the world.

It hurts your neck to look up to the top of the Sequoia trees.

Some of them are more than 300 feet tall.

Tyler and I used this fallen giant Sequoia like a slide.

Bears come to these meadows in Sequoia National Park but this one only had pretty flowers.

We couldn't see much of the Pacific Ocean because it was covered in fog.

We saw otters in the Pacific Ocean near Big Sur.

This is a Toule deer at Point Reyes National Seashore.

This is Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay.  Alcatraz used to be a jail and it's nickname was The Rock.

In San Francisco, Tyler, Dad and I went inside the USS Pampanito which was a World War II submarine.

This is where the sailors ate and played games while they were in the submarine.

We rode a cable car up and down San Francisco's steep and scary streets.

Lombard Street is the crookedest street in the world!

In San Francisco we saw a man who pretended to be a robot.  He was silver all over.

I panned for gold and garnets in Marshall gold Discovery State park where California gold was first discovered.

Geese on Lake Tahoe.

I rode Gidget the horse at Lake Tahoe.

Papa fell off his horse Knots but he wasn't hurt.

Beautiful Lake Tahoe.
