After leaving Yosemite we drove down to the LA area to spend some time with Peter's family (and mine too!). The temperature rose quickly after leaving the mountains, from the 50s to 94. The landscape changed dramatically from pine trees to shrubs and brown grasses on rolling hills and plains. We came across several old ghost towns, or semi-ghost towns, that had once been a thriving metropolis of gold diggers in the 1800s. A plaque and few of the buildings remained (among over grown trees) to give a hint of what had been. Visiting CA ghost towns might be a new pastime here, just like going to the beach. When we were all here last Christmas we went to visit the ghost town next to Jason and Betsy's land in Yermo.
We reached Fullerton and are enjoying spending time with the family. All of the kids pitched in to get Mom a new computer and David got a new monitor. So Peter is busy helping set it all up and just loving it. I went grocery shopping with Mom and helped cook. It's nice to be in a kitchen again. :-D
