Bored while Jeff was Gone?:)

Jeff has been at a conference this week...so, I thought I would explore CA a little. Google provided a lot of good places to visit:)



China Town was fabulous! I felt like I stepped into the heart of Beijing....and following a recommendation, I tried the incredible strawberry cake at the Phoenix Bakery...mmmm:)

















The next day took me to the Mojave desert.










The drive there was a bit more impressive than the final
destination of Mojave. Once there I stopped for lunch at a local place and asked the guy if there were any sites to see. His answer was rather funny "this is the desert...there's nothing out here":



On my way to Mojave I drove back to Edwards AFB:

On the long drive through the desert to Edwards I saw a water mirage like those who died in the desert saw before the end....it was so bizzare to look out and see a lake and on the way back to see it was a dry bed!




I also visited the Aerospace Valley. Enlarge the picture to read everything that took place there...it's rather incredible!









And, the last day took me to the Channel Island Harbor...great beaches and parks!










And, for those who are wondering.....Jeff had a great time at the conference visiting with all of his friends from OU!
