My Bi-monthly Catch Up

So I just got back from a SICK! week off w/ my folks. We did everything... so maybe I'll do my regular point form summary thing.

1.) Picked them up from the SFO airport & dropped of the 30 lbs of food they brought for me in my fridge :D

2.) Then we drove down PCH (Hwy 1 - Pacific Coast Hwy). It was sick man, especially since the mountains were green & all! There were so many places where I wanted to just park the car & run out to the end of the cliffs! We even got to check out the sunseting over the ocean, before turning inland & heading into LA.

3.) Checked out Palm Springs (& started my flatten penny collection - damn it I should have started it in NYC, or Crater Lake!). A flatten penny is this thing were you insert a penny & two quarters... the machine then flattens your penny & inprints a sovineir (sp?) image on one side.

4.) Then we did the "Fashion District", pure clothes & shit for cheeeaap! Especially womens clothing. It had pure fake *ish too, like pursues & jewelry - kinda like china town in NYC.

5.) Good old Las Vegas! Unfortunately, I lost $100 at the craps tables!! Grrr. But our room at the Aladdin was sick!! The washroom had three sections, a toliet w/ private door, a shower, & a sick as bathtub!!

6.) Checked out the Grand Canyon! Wasn't as impressive as I thought it would be.

7.) Left Vegas & drove through Death Valley! Now that was SICK! At one point there was this lake (badwater lake), it's the lowest elevation point in N. America (-282 ft). It was a salt lake - aaaee - I'm too lazy to tell the rest of the story... maybe later.

7.5.) Nearly drove off a snowy cliff on the way to Yosemite - through Sequoia N.P.

8.) Yosemite National Park - sick waterfalls, & snowy mountains.

9.) San Francisco tourist stuff. The fish & chips place on Pier 39 was sick!!

10.) Back at work... grrr - I totally have no drive to do anything!!

Maybe, I'll expand more once I upload pictures.
