California - Part 1 (of 2)

Summer Vacation 2014 - California

We first visited my brother and his wife.  While there we stopped by Hollywood, which was interesting...we saw the actress that plays in the movie "Tammy".  We saw the "stars", ate at Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood, and visited the Griffith Observatory.

The Hollywood sign is back there somewhere... 

 We spent time enjoying the coastline... 

and the Tar Pits.... 

Had a Happy 4th of July playing at the beach where Leo dipped his toes in the Pacific and Ronnie got his first surfing lesson from Cory. 





Then we headed off to Sequoia National Park. We stayed at a bed breakfast just outside the park. It was 103 degrees (although it didn't feel that hot to me...) there and below 70 degrees in the park. The sequoia's have been on our list of things to do for a long time so it was really neat to finally see them!


Here is General Sherman, the biggest tree on earth (by mass).


Next up Monterey and San Francisco.
