2011 MAY -- TRIP TO CALIFORNIA

We flew to SanFrancisco, CA and rented a car and drove to Mt. Ranch for the convention over Memorial Day week-end. Wonderful convention and nice to see so many that we knew there! The following week we went with Warren & Sue Wainwright, Arleigh & Fern Larson (BC), and Don & Eve Strassburg to the Ironstone Vineyard and Winery and then on to Yosemite National Park for a couple of days. The falls were stunning and the scenery breathtaking! It was absolutely gorgeous!!! Had a lovely dinner at a beautiful Inn one evening. Went to Glacier Point and had more awesome views of El Capitan, HalfDome, and the Falls! Even had some snowflakes there and drove through snowbanked lined roads!!! From there we went back to Merced for a couple of days at Wainwrights' home. Nice to be with all their family and also Corle May and her folks one evening. Then Warren & Sue and we went on to San Francisco for a couple of days and stayed right downtown and walked all around, shopping, eating, Fisherman's Wharf, viewing the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, etc. Nice to be in meeting in SF with the folks there before flying home that afternoon. A wonderful 12 days of fellowship, convention, and sight seeing!!!
