As I said in my previous entry, our plan was to get up bright and early with the sun to get to Yosemite. Needless to say, after all of our driving, our intensely scary hike to the top of the freaking world, (Moro Rock in Sequoia) and all of our walking, we slept right through our alarms. Clearly we needed the extra rest, so we were ok with getting a later start as we actually had no agenda for the day. Our hotel usually would have offered a hot breakfast but due ...

Another Bravo Road Trip!! Our original plan was to be on the road bright and early around 7am, but we ended up sleeping in a bit. After dropping Winnie off at daycare and getting everything packed up we hit the road just before 9am. It all worked out, though, we hit everything we wanted to see with time to spare.

As frequent travelers, travel bans and quarantines have been quite difficult. Before I get into the summary of our trip, I do want to mention that we are beyond gr...

I don't have much to write about today, as the day just consisted of us getting up early to get to the cruise terminal to board our cruise! If you look at the photo album for this entry, I did include some photos of our Air BnB. Did you see just how many freakin' elevator buttons there were! The building was so tall! And sometimes it took forever to get down to the dang lobby with people getting on the elevator! There were 6 elevators, but still. Our view from ou...
