Great night---way to welcome in summer!  We are so ready for summer; we'll be taking a vacation back to the east coast to see family and friends!!!!

OLD FAITHFUL

We also stopped at the Old Faithful Geyser of California!

The surrounding backdrop of the geyser was breath taking.  St Helena

Petrified Forest

While Grandma was in town, we took a drive to the Petrified Forest.  Who new that right ehre was the forest that contains the largest petrified wood in the country!

                                                       A tree grew out of the fallen tree!

                                           This tree was 100feet long and I think 8 feet round

What an amazingly awesome tree---you could build a house in it!

This is what the petrified wood looks like when you remove the bark --beautiful, smooth, and multicolored!

This was a great little trip:)
