This was taken while headed for the Grapevine, which is an infamous route that overheats cars.
California can be pretty... If you drive long enough!
My mom was busy staring at this that we almost sideswiped the railing! :?
As we got closer to Petaluma.. (About 20 minutes away from our destination), we realized something smelt odd... I look to my right and holy shit! COWS~!
These cows were my victims later that night when I went with some local kids to go "cow tipping", one of the most funnest past times at night ever!
Camping~!
We own many acres of property in Gualala, which is a refreshing 2 hour drive along the coast. I took some pictures around our property when I went for a hike.
This was taken on the historic Steel Bridge, which is the ending mark of our property. The water feeds into the huge river that flows straight to the ocean. Canoe trips on the river all the way there is quite a scenic and amazing trip in itself. Unfortunately, I fell ill the third day there and missed the canoe trip.
As we set up our tent, I stop and yell, "SHITZ!" this is the biggest mushroom I've seen and I decided to take a photo of it since my friend loves shrooms.
I decided to brush up on my photography and found the perfect oppurtunity with these two images. (One below as well.)
These butterflies were acting against me, I say! You see, whenever I tried to photograph them, they closed their wings as if they were shy. But even the outside was beautiful enough to capture!
At night, I watched the campfire with a poetic mind until I thought I would try to capture what was in my mind. Can you find it in here?
"Mom.. Where's the Rennaisance fair?" It should be here, the dates said so.. The Rennaisance fair was canceled so on a whim of an idea, we took the ferry to the city. A 60 minute ride!
"OMG! Mom! Look! They have the Erhu! OMGOMGOMG! I WANNNNNT" was what I said when I walked into a music store. Unfortunately, they are $780.. To which my mom shook her head and said Ebay was cheaper. But I was still as elated as a kid in a candy store when I saw those.
I wore my dress for the wedding proudly.. And as expected, a pedophilac man who was also an avid alcoholic hit on me.. But then again, I can't blame him, I was effing sexy.
On the last day we went to go visit my Grandfather.. Who is the greatest man in the world to me. He taught me everything and I loved him so much. We were inseperable from the moment I was born and he was my best friend. His death still hurts me to this day but as I took the picture of his grave, the sunlight hit him perfectly. As if he was there with me the whole time. (He's my mother's father.)
I love you Gramba.
This concludes my trip~!
Also, I need to upload a video of the San Fransisco "Bushman". He's this homeless guy that will scare people from behind a bush if you pay him. I'll post the link shortly!
Has anyone else gone on vacation or gone somewhere this summer? Care to share your experiences?
Back from my road trip to San Fransisco! (Pictures)
