"Let's show these fools how we do this on that west side/Cos you and I know it's tha best side" ~ Tupac

We've arrived in Seattle after a road trip up the west coast with the rest of the Lanes (minus Kris). Here's a pictorial account of us conquering California, Oregon, and Washington:


Yes, I made a Matt-map. He forced me to do it.


1. Visiting Albie at Stanford Uni (just outside of San Jose). This is the university bookstore (containing more Stanford merchandise than books, including whole Stanford Mom and Stanford Dad sections).


2. Me and a python at the San Francisco Science Academy. San Francisco is a cool city but we didn't have time to see much of it.


3. Almost a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge.


4. Somewhere on the Californian coast.


5. This was great.


6. 'Avenue of the Giants'. Pacific coast redwoods are the largest living things on Earth. I saw the stump of one that was 2500 years old, and was cut down in the early 1900s. Redwoods are so big and resilient they are practically immune to fires, floods, and time generally. Not so immune to chainsaws it seems.


7. American cuisine. (TV dinner trays provided in our mobile home.)


8. Matt and Nic finally found their county courthouse that they had lost.
