Yeah, I . . . don't post on my own LJ very much anymore. Sad. Very sad. Uh. SO ANYWAY, Amanda and I have been on a couple trips in the last year and saw some amazing things and I am finally getting around to posting my photos. And when I say "gigantic photo post", by the way, I really, really mean it. But you don't have to look at them all. I won't take it personally, I promise.
Last July, we went to Utah. Why? Because Utah has amazing places in it.

So then this year, we went to California. We've been to Yosemite before, but it was in the winter, and we didn't get a lot of time to spend there, so we decided to go there again! But first...
Bearizona
Bearizona is a drive-through wildlife park which was really much smaller and less impressive than I would have figured, but *did* have a lot of bears.

The Road to Yosemite
Check out the last picture in this batch - it's a rainbow that's not in the sky! It was projected into a valley, against the trees. The picture isn't great, since there was no place really to stop and take one, but you can still totally see it!

Yosemite
Man, you thought I took a billion pics of Yosemite last time? This set is even bigger, thanks to much nicer weather, more open roads, and a digital camera that actually has a memory chip. California and the Sierra Nevadas got record snowfall this year, so the waterfalls were amazing. I also went on a mule ride and saw an actual bear! Seriously, a wild bear, just chillin'.

Then we went to San Diego, because... we love San Diego! And this time we took a bunch of pictures there. =D We saw a lot of wildlife there - some lizards, plenty of birds, a pelican just perched on the pier, and an actual seal just swimming around in the ocean!
