The Holiday

We returned from California on Thursday evening after a great trip. It has been a great summer to say the least. The weather has been fabulous and everywhere we went it was either very hot or comfortably warm.

In total we traveled over 3700 miles. Down to Monterey, then to Disneyland and then home. The drive was pretty good as the roads were in good shape, we didn't have to face a lot of construction and outside the anticipated heavy volume in the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas, things sailed along pretty good.

The highlight of the trip had to be Disneyland. Our daughter had a great time and was all smiles at the experience. We were not sure how she would react, but she did great and still had energy at the end of the day. The experience was everything we could have asked for.

The highlights of the trip included spending time in some great places; Reno, San Francisco, Monterey, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas and Yellowstone National Park. Of course I can't forget the two rounds of golf that I played in Monterey, on two outstanding golf courses. I played Spanish Bay and Poppy Hills. Unfortunately, I'd like to forget my scores of 95 and 105.

It some respects it was tough for it to come to an end, at the same time, sometimes its good to be home.
