2007 Miksanek Family Vacation: California

For 2007, we flew to Los Angeles and drove up the coast to San Francisco.

Los Angeles area

From the Griffith Park Observatory, we had a great view of the Hollywood sign ... and a half hour later, a great view of a fire that forced us to be evacuated.

Hooray for ... Having a hot time in ol' Griffith Park

If it wasn't for the star, I would say this was the same hat the Tinman wore in the Wizard of Oz.
