Millerisms

Brent served his mission in Northern California. We've talked about going there for years. It finally happened! We spent the last 10 days on a road trip there. It was so much fun! We celebrated our 41st anniversary. About time - you think?

Our first stop was Kings Beach in North Lake Tahoe. Brent found the little cabin/home he lived in while he was serving there. It was behind the fence and covered in shrubs, but it was still there.

This is the building where they attended church meetings. The Methodists were willing to share their meetinghouse with the Mormons.

On to beautiful San Fransico

Amazing farmers market here at Market Square.

We took a tour of many notable sites.

Cable cars.

Lombard Street - we walked down it.

We happened to be there on one of their rare rainy days.

Grace Cathedral

Cable car station was very interesting

These big wheels pull the cars to and from their destination.

Seven sisters were built in the 1850's and sold for around $6000.00

One was just on the market for $4,000,000.00!

This was built for a worlds fair - was supposed to be temporary but was left because of its beauty.

Golden Gate Bridge

We crossed the bridge on our way to Sausalito.

We found some yummy restaurants - this was Italian.

Took the ferry back to San Francisco

Alcatraz

Basic cell.

Famous prisoners.

We took the audio tour.

Inmates used implements to spread the bars and cause a riot. Some of the guards were killed.

Visitors window.

Wardens home.

This is one of the cells used in the "escape of Alcatraz"

We were there during the World cup races. Here is

America's Oracle.

Here you can see the two contenders racing. America came back winning 8 consecutive races to win the world cup!

Seals hang out at pier 39.

Muir Woods

Beautiful sequoias

Old as the dinosaurs?!

Yosemite

Dry falls.

Took a chance on getting a room - ended up in a tent. This little latch hook was our only security. They had us freaked out about bears and rodents. We didn't see any.
