Spring Break in California

For Spring Break 2009 Darle and I, along with Dave and their mom Vicki, drove down to San Diego for a visit with Darle's Grandma Dotty. She is living in a very nice facility in a two bedroom apartment. We took some photo's in one of the many beautiful garden areas on the property.

On our way back north we took a stop in L.A for a few hours. This picture was taken in front of the Chinese Theatre. Most of you probably know this about me but in case you don't, I love Gone With The Wind! This was a real find for me. I looked for Vivian Leigh, I am not even sure if she has a square. The picture was very difficult to take because there were people everywhere and all of them looking down at the ground. It is kind of hard to see but this is Clark Gable's hand and shoe print.

We went to San Francisco for a day. We took an Alcatraz tour, ate clam chowder on Pier 39, bought some chocolates at Ghirardelli Square then headed further north.

This was taken on the boat that took us to Alcatraz Island. You can see the steep streets of San Francisco behind us.
