Courtyard by Marriott Merced

... the warf and Cannery area was just the same, however, there were not lots of sea otters floating about in the kelp like last time. I was really disappointed as I really wanted the children to see one relaxing on its back :-( We wandered down the walking trail and found the very same Reebok shop I had visited last time. They had some really good deals. After spending £120 we had acquired: 3 pairs of trainers, 2 packs of trainer socks, 2 ...

... explained how plants conserving water is like good money management - some save, some are frugal and others just live within their means.

Our time in the park was just about perfect until the next morning when on a winding section of forested road, there was a loud bang as the passenger side mirror clipped a branch and shattered the passenger window. Hannah was in the passenger seat at the time and received a ...

... and would you believe it we can now hear each other talk!), the wipers fixed, the air in-take hose done, and the veggie system up and running! Love, love, love running on the veggie oil. It feels soooo good to be able to travel all over town without hurting the environment! The family's been doing their job in preparing us for the trip. I think we have learned 5 new games! We've been playing a new game everynight and Dad re-taught us Crib last ...

We stopped in Merced to pick up Joe's friend, Phil. Phil is a nice guy. Buena Park was our next destination. I was pretty tired along the way, but I couldn't really fall asleep either. I had Joe drive since I haven't slept all night. Most of the drive was uneventful until we decided to check Pyramid Lake out while driving through the Grapevine.

After getting off work at 7am, I got home and packed. Joe and I then went to pick up our car rental at Enterprise. Oddly enough, we ended up with a '09 Toyota Prius. I have always found them a bit irritating since there's so many of them on the road, but now I was stuck with one. Joe was just having a good kick out of seeing me ...

... of nowhere, on Buchanan Road, at Plainsburg Road. I was directed to the back area, where I tasted just about everything from garlic pistachios, to chocolate covered cherries. I was pretty full after the tasting, but i bought $17. in assorted nuts and a bag of "California Mix." I felt pretty well at that time, and I tried to down two "Bike-bottle" size containers of water as well as a can of diet coke. I was trying to make-up time by pedaling hard and and stewing about the roads that ...

... a Noel Edmonds bright coloured jumper. Although she had a slightly distracting quiver of the hand, that we attributed to either Parkinson's disease or alcoholism, she gave us the fantastic news that we could park our car in Yosemite and then catch a shuttle bus around the rest of it. This means that we could look around it, without having to potentially fit snow chains to our tyres. Thinking it was a little late to visit the park today, we made another ...

... t happened. Michelle's first instinct when she goes to someone's house is to assess the sturdiness of the door, the size of the windows, and the space under the house where a dog could hide. She wants to have a plan for breaking in in case she needs to. I walked through our neighborhood at dusk the other night, when friends are walking their dogs and neighbors are playing with kids and pets in the front yard. The sound of dog collars jangling made me cry ...

... potential killers who should not be approached. Several of our fellow tourists were horribly gored when they ignored his advice (I got some really good pictures). Our day and ourselves exhausted, we drove eighty miles to Merced and dined in a high class (by Jono's standards) restaurant going by the name of "Denny's". Though Denny's was a fast food outlet like MacDonalds, Jono was anxious to persuade me that the two were not comparable. We both ...
