A whole lotta miles...not a lot of WiFi

So it's been a while since our last update and we've covered a lot of ground since then...but most of our time we've been off the WiFi grid so we haven't done a great job of keeping you updated.

Here's a quick run down of our recent travel/stops...complete with all the witty anectodal comments from the kids that I know are the reason you keep reading. 😜

C: When we left Sequoia mom finally let us have lunch at Taco Bell. We'd been asking to go but she kept telling us that she had a special one to take us to - and that she couldn't do Taco Bell more than once - this one was literally right on the beach...it was really cool.

Then we made it to San Francisco. Google sent mom driving up and then down the really, really steep street...it was kinda scary. Mom said Google needed a feature that allowed you to avoid heart attack streets like it does interstates and toll roads.

We did an open top bus tour. Mom said it was so we could hear more about the city from someone who knows stuff but I think it was so she wouldn't have to drive on those hills again.

 Then we went across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was neat. I learned that if you take all the cables out of the bridge and lay them end to end, it would go around the world 3 1/2 times.

We didn't get off the bus much but we saw this park at one of the stops and mom let us get off and play. It was fun. We made some friends and played a lot of tag.

We also rode the trolley cars. It was crazy how they worked and how they handled the steep hills without any trouble...unlike mom.

Then we went back to Pier 39 to see the sea lions and to go to an arcade museum called Musée Mécanique. There were over 300 games...some of them were really, really old. We got to play some of them. It was fun.

Then we had dinner at Boudin Bakery. Mom said the crab and corn bisque was amazing. I had pizza.

Then we did my favorite thing so far...a night tour of Alcatraz. It was awesome. The history is really cool and it was a little spooky to be there as the sun went down.

Mom said we should never think of our home as a prison but that this was basically her parenting philosophy.

A: THEN WE LEFT SAN FRANSISCO AND DID OUR LEAST FAVRITE THING SO FAR...LANDRY.

BUT THEN OMA CAME AND WE WINT TO TAHOE!!! WE WINT TO VIKINGSHOLM AND MADE FRINDS WITH KIDS THAT HAD A BOAT. THEY LET US JUMP OFF WITH THEM TO CATCH A BALL. IT WAS FUN

 THEN WE RINTED KYACKS AND WENT OUT TO THE ISLAND AND HIKED AROUND. WE ALSO WINT TO OUR FAVRITE CLIFF JUMPING SPOT AND JUMPED UNTIL IT WAS TIME TO KYACK BACK.

THEN WE HIKED BACK FROM THE BEACH AND STOPED FOR ICE CREM ON THE WAY HOME.

THE NEXT DAY WE WINT TO THE TOP OF THE MONTIN. WE PLAYED GAMES ANS RODE THE CHAIRLUFT. WE GOT TO RIDE THE ALPINE COSTER AT THE TOP. CAMDEN GOT TO ZIPLINE AND I GOT TO DO THE ROCK WALL AND I MADE IT TO THE TOP 10 TIMES!

C: Then we left Tahoe and rode a long time on Highway 50 which is also know as the Lonliest Highway. There was basically nothing on it except two towns and we stayed in both of them. This was my first ever motel. It was neat. Mom said it was old but really clean and that was all that mattered.

Then we went to some caves. It was different than Carlsbad Caverns. It was much smaller and you were really close to the cave walls almost the whole time.

We finally made it across the Lonliest Highway to Salt Lake City. We went to the Olympic Park and to the museums there. We got to do a bobsled simulator and pretend to do the ski jump. It was tricky at first but we got the hang of it.

I can't imagine standing at the top of this and jumping off the platform. It is so high!

We had dinner at The Red Iguana. They had good Mexican food. Mom saw it on Diners Drive Ins and Dives. We had to wait a long time for a table but it was worth it.

After Salt Lake City we headed to Bear Lake and now we're heading to The Tetons and Yellowstone. We'll be off the grid again for a few days but we will post another update as soon as we can. 

See you next time!!!
