Skagit Spring Tulips

Annelle bought the most tulips!

And I really enjoyed this lovely field of RED tulips.

Though close-ups of these pink ones were quite a thrill.

Traveling home

Enroute home we went through SF and crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.
Lin says this picture just had to be taken, how many times were we going to have Oscar with the bridge in the background?











We had trouble finding beaches that were dog friendly. This one was in Capitola, where Lin's niece, Wendy lives.

We bought two bags of artichokes at Pezzini Farms in Castroville.
My goodness were they ever delicious. It turns out we had stopped at that exact farm
many years ago with Erin and Alison. Lin has the tee shirt to prove it.

Camping in Joshua Tree N. P.

We had a beautiful camping spot in Joshua Tree.

It's just that it was very chilly!

The sky, the rocks, and the trees were lovely.

Stars too.
The water in Oscar's plastic water bowl froze when Lin poured it in the next morning.

More views of Death Valley

Death Valley

We camped two nights in Death Valley. The second night was less crowded but there wasn't much shelter
and it rained. The sky was pretty amazing and the view from our campsite wasn't bad as you can see.

Enroute to Death Valley

Early in the road trip

This picture was taken the day before Oscar's first grooming and two days before he took off into the cow pasture to "say goodbye to the cows" at the Smith Ranch (in Oakdale) early in our road trip.

We are home now and I'll try to post a few pictures from our month long adventure.
