We got back on Monday night from 12 days in California—San Francisco to Yosemite to Sequoia to Hearst Castle, up the Pacific Coast Highway to Monterey, then to San Fran for a Giants-Dodgers game and the trip back from SFO.

I’m sure there’s lots to say, but I think I’m going to have Virginia handle that. Here are the photos.

The view from our hotel room @ the Fairmont (thanks, mom!)
