    Spring is in bloom in New York. We went to the park today and stumbled across some sort of Native American heritage celebration.

    A photo of a sign I took at a stop in Wyoming at the end of our trip. Seemed ironic at the time, seeing as we had driven over 4,000 miles.

    Stopped at the Bonneville Salt Flats yesterday on our way through Utah. It looks like snow and ice but it’s all salt.

    It has been unseasonably nice in San Francisco so we took the chance to rent some bikes and do some touristy things.

    Finally, made it to San Francisco about a week ago. Yesterday we went up to Sausalito and Muir Woods National Monument to see the massive redwoods.

    Took the long, scenic route from LA to SF yesterday. Big Sur was definitely one of the most stunning places we’ve been and totally worth the longer drive. We also watched the elephant seals lounge around unfazed by all the tourists snapping pictures.

    View from Griffith Park in Los Angeles yesterday. Headed up to San Francisco today.

    A roadside stop at the Cabazon Dinosaurs en route to LA was very disappointing.

    Traveled from Las Cruces, NM to Scottsdale, AZ today through dust, sun, and cacti. Also stopped at an ghost town in western New Mexico, which also was home to one of the most depressing towns we’d ever been to. Once in Arizona, we took a trip through the Saguaro National Park to see one huge cactus after another.

    Most of Texas is long and boring. We cruised into Johnson City, TX and went to a beef jerky store, where we pinned our towns on the map. Then we stopped at Lyndon Johnson’s childhood home because the rule is if you are traveling through a president’s hometown on Presidents’ Day, you have to go.

    Stopped in Houston for the Rising Stars game on Friday (thanks Madeline!) and then had a good time in beautiful Austin. Enjoyed many delicious tacos over the course of the weekend.

    We walked around the Garden District yesterday. Here are some of the awesome houses we saw.

    "5 Times" Mike the oyster shucker

    Some of the bead aftermath on Ash Wednesday and our trip to Casamento’s for the best oysters we’ve ever had.

    Mardi Gras - where the streets are paved with beads, beer cans, and barf!

    Soaking in all the craziness that is Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Definitely the most unique city in America. This is a little of the Krewe of Bacchus from last night.
