Oct 21st~
We woke up in beautiful Yosemite and we were just loving it. We did a little hike and then had to say goodbye. On the way out we stopped by the gorgeous lake and what do you know. We standing there admiring it when Laura sees the sign for the lake. "Mono Lake" she realizes that she has an Ansel Adams photo hanging in her office of this exact spot. The print even has "Mono Lake" written on it-she just never knew where it was. It was just funny cuz I made her pull over so we could enjoy the view-she was ready just to drive on by. You know, after awhile you get spoiled from seeing all this beauty and you start to take some of it forgranted. AFterwards we drive on to Lake Tahoe. We didn't have much time there but we did enjoy a nice sunset. We had to get back on the road and drive towards Salt Lake City, UT. When we were in Carson City, UT we decided to stop for some dinner. We have been eating somewhat healthy. Not all fast food along the way. We'd go into a grocery store and get you know--fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw from their deli department. Much better for you...tee-hee. I think you'll realize why we gained so much weight on this trip --even though we did some major hiking. Anyhow-there was this local hand made chocolate shop next to the grocery store. It was almost closing but we snuck in there to purchase some dark chocolate (my girls fave). We the little old lady working there talked us into a 1/2 lb box (told us it would run about $6.50) as we are picking out what pieces (we were done) she told us we had room for a couple more. So we picked a couple more...then she weighs it and tells us "total price $8.50" It's funny, I could tell that Laura wanted to jump across the counter and punch her in her nose for quote "tricking us-into buying more than we wanted"....well i was right because when we left that's exactly what Laura said to me. We were in the grocery store afterwards...Laura still steaming that we just spent $8.50 on chocolate when I looked at the receipt again and noticed that the tricky old lady doesn't have very good eyesight and only rang my credit card total as .85 cents instead of the $8.50!! I think Laura is still beaming about that "well that's what she gets for trying to trick us".
We got as far as Elko, Nevada and spent the night in our car at the Wal-mart.
By the way --Laura and I were fighting most of the day about the way she drives.
