Happy Birthday America!

We watch the fireworks from Coronado Island with the beatiful city of San Diego in the background. We had a fun time waiting for the fireworks to start. We got soak when the sprinklers came on as we were enjoying the warm summer night.

A warm and loving welcome "Home Marine"

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park

These two parks testify to nature's size, beauty, and diversity: Immense mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, and the world’s largest trees! The dead tree once block the road and a tunnel was cut thru the tree for cars to pass thru. A picture of me with one of the large sequoias.

Niagara Falls, New York

David and Grace with family and friends visited Niagara Falls in New York. The Cave of the Winds trip takes you closer to the waters of Niagara Falls than you thought possible. You ride an elevator 175 feet deep into the Niagara Gorge. Then, clad in ponchos and wearing the special footwear provided, you follow a tour guide over a series of wooden walkways to the famous "Hurricane Deck". As you stand at the railing, you are a mere 20 feet from the billowing torrents of Bridal Veil Falls. The rushing waters loom above you, dousing you with a generous spray as you face the thundering Falls head-on.
