Thank you for the very interesting and informative post on California! I learned several new things and have a few places I’d like to visit myself because even I haven’t seen everything. 😊

One place I love to visit whenever I go back, and if I have the time, is the Huntington Library and Gardens. It’s gorgeous there, and I see something new every time I go. They also have a copy of the Gutenberg Bible and several famous paintings, including Blue Boy and Pinkie. I have family that still live near there (San Marino), and I was born down the street from there at Huntington Memorial Hospital. When I lived in L.A., it wasn’t far from there either. Kind of makes me homesick today! 😊 I’ve driven through the redwood tree and have seen the General Sherman Tree. I’ve also ridden the Skunk Train twice through the Redwoods, once as a child, and then as a mom with my own family. Yes, Lidewey, the drive along the coast in northern Cali is a stomach-churner, and I love your hubby’s nickname for it!

How fitting it’s Margarita Day on California Day! That was my Dutch grandmother’s and my favorite drink. Last time I was in Cali was for her funeral. I sure miss her, but I have many wonderful memories of her.

Sending margarita hugs, your choice of flavor (I like lime best!) 🤗🐶🐶🤗💖☀️
