Taking advantage of surprisingly low gas prices, Anna and I, along with our short-term-roommate/long-term-friend Megan journeyed South for the holiday. Destinations included:
- Sea Lion Caves – Florence, OR
- Yosemite National Park – CA
- Death Valley National Park – CA
- Las Vegas, NV
- Grand Canyon National Park – AZ
- Florence, AZ – Winter home of Anna’s grandparents
- San Francisco, CA
Though my third visit to Vegas, this was the first when I took the time to see the typical sights and do a bit of gambling. After about twenty minutes at a penny slot (I don’t have what it takes to risk big money), a single bet of $2.40 won me nearly as much as we all spent on the entire trip combined. Certainly a highlight of the trip.
I took tons of photos and have uploaded many of them. Instead of trying to stick them all in here, just check out my flickr set by clicking the photo below.
