For those of you who didn't know, we spent most of last week in California, gallivanting across the west-coast state under the guise of attending a wedding. We did in fact attend a wedding, but not until we had toured most of LA, Joshua Tree National Park, and San Diego. As per the pictures above, I left most of my hair behind...
We'll do our best to actually post pictures this time. I'm not sure that our first year anniversary trip will ever be finished, but its old news by now anyhow. A general list of things we learned while in California:
1. Turkey and avocado, a sandwich concoction of CA (or perhaps the west coast), isn't that great. Very bland and disappointing.
2. While I wouldn't advise some one to enlist in the military for this reason, it is helpful to tote a military and dependent (Jonathan is my "dependent" as my spouse) ID when booking rooms and touring landmarks and parks.
3. Dulles airport has a full-body scanner. Please tell me then, why do I still need to remove my shoes and sweatshirt?
4. Driving California is all about views...you can see everything 6 miles up the road. It has something to do with going through valleys between mountains, driving to the top of mountains and hills, but also with small skinny palm trees and desserts that don't block the view.
And as any traveling couple knows, most of our pictures are self-portraits...arm extended, trying to get the perfect background-to-person ratio. Here are our best shots...more pictures to come later.
