Western Parks

Shortly before this trip began we decided that we hadn't traveled enough this year. We either needed to get jobs or get back on the road, and the road sounded more exciting. We put together an itinerary and booked the hotels on July 21st and shot out of town a week later. We spent more than two weeks exploring some of the country's most famous parks before returning home via the California Coast.
