Since getting the new car we have been on several trips, 3000 miles on it so far. A few weeks ago we went up to San Francisco to visit Angela's brother. I learned that San Francisco is not for manual cars, I am pretty sure this is where the California stop was invented, and that parking is never available. We went on a trolley ride:
We ate a lot of bad food, starting with breakfast at:

We also went and watched the sea lions at the pier for a while.
This last weekend, on Sunday, we went to RCX at the fairgrounds in Pomona. I forgot the camera, but Angela got a toy:
An R/C helicopter, I'm not sure why, but she just had to have it. I have to admit it is fun to fly around. There were also a lot of other cool R/C displays, demos, and racing. They had a lot more than I expected for the larger 1/5 scale cars (I want one). The cars and planes each took up a building plus a few car displays and the racing outside, and then there was one guy there doing boats off in his own little pool area...what happened to the boats?? For size reference:
And finally yesterday we got new cell phones. Mine had been losing signal randomly for about a month and the screen randomly going blank for about the last 6. Angela's also started having screen issues a few days ago. We both got the LG Dare:
A good phone is $$$$$, after all the rebates they will have cost about $350, with a car charger! Ouch! A good chunk of that due to California's near 10% sales tax on the before discount price of $410 per phone. Nice things about them are 3.2 megapixel camera, bluetooth (can sync it with the Acura), looks like it has a good music player, big touch screen, and a the keyboard I need for texting.
Since the last post we went to the Feline Reserve again for a twilight tour. You get to go through the park into areas you otherwise do not get to see. It is in the evening when it is cool so the cats are more active, and they are given toys and melons to play with. For more pictures click here.

In this city of Rocks type area
And the views on Mount Whitney through the other surrounding mountains. We also drove further north and saw some of the town of Bishop.
