Fond Farewell to Uncle Sam



So Mr Button and I are on the final day of our eventful trip across the US. Mr Button enjoyed chilling out in Fresno where we stayed with friends and didn't do a lot, which was nice after our hectic travels. We spent one night on the coast at Monterey, which was beautiful watching the sunset over the beach with pelicans flying over head and a dolphin bobbing through the waves. Mr Button had decided that the next day he would like to go the aquarium (perhaps he was feeling sorry for me as I didn't get to go to the one in Chicago). It was great, a small companion of ours especially enjoyed the 'hands on exhibits' where you could touch the starfish, anemones and such. We then headed off to San Francisco (where we wore flowers in our hair - no only joking). We went to see the mist shrouded Golden Gate Bridge, drove up and down lots of hills and spotted a hippy or two.

Tomorrow we fly home again, tired, and in the case of Mr B looking a little fuzzy around the edges, and no I'm not talking about his aura. It has been a most enjoyable and cram packed trip the likes of which we will probably not have the opportunity to do again. We have seen some truly magnificent sights and Mr Button, I'm sure has become a more rounded human being because of it. I hope you have enjoyed reading my little blog and here endeth the lesson with the most common American phrase we've heard, 'Your Welcome!'
