Definitely!🥰
Thank you for this informative and enjoyable travel video. Ya’ll have too much fun! I lived in Nevada when I was young but never made it to Lake Tahoe so this video was really fun for me. It is beautiful there. Many interesting and fun stops along the way. I myself would enjoy the dinner cruise, that’s right up my line. So who actually does the editing and posts? What a nice job you do! I’m sure it is difficult, time consuming and a pain. Lol. But what a good job! Also do you do this as you go along or just wait until you get home to put the whole thing together?
We had, somehow, forgotten just how beautiful it is! We LOVED the cruise and Parker wants to go back again already. Making teenagers that happy is hard too! I, Cat, do all the editing and posting. It is a second part time job but I love learning this craft and expansion of my photography. I just put the films together once we get back. On family trips like this I have to gather everyone's film/photos before I can put together the final film and it's fun to see what everyone else captured too! Thank you so much for supporting this...it really means a lot!
Watching your videos at moms work, these are my favorite ones because we can visit these places! 😮
It was fun to find something new this time!!
Great work! You’ve clearly put a lot of effort into making this video, and it shows. I actually help creators grow their channels faster, so if you’re open to exploring new ways to keep that momentum going, I’d be happy to share some tips. Keep it up!
Thank you! We are growing at a manageable rate...still learning the craft and having the best time doing it!
@@travelingcatphotos So inspiring to see fellow creators! For anyone up for a conversation on growth, I'm on the standard spaces where creators chat. Keep shining!
A nice video
Thank you! The East side of Zion was simply stunning! We hope to camp inside the Park next time and have much more time to explore! Thanks for hanging out with us!
Happy Happy Birthday 🎉🎉
Thank you! It's been a super good one!!
I think that’s the nicest pumpkin patch I have ever seen. Love the Godzilla! Happy Birthday! 🥳🎂
Thank you! We had heard about it over the years but a follower recommended we go there for my birthday this year and boy, oh, boy was he right! With all the flowers it was just SO pretty!
Solvang is so fun! Love the food. We typically go around Christmas time every year. My Danish ancestors would be proud. 😂
We will be going back for Mom's Dec. birthday. She wants to go on light light tour on the trolley! It's such a cool place.
My husband works there as a firemen/conductor ❤
That is so cool! We loved talking to those who work there and finding out so much more about the trains and the place in general. Tell him Thank You for the work he's doing...it's wonderful!
@@travelingcatphotos I definitely will
Two things I love about Solvang: They filmed Sideways there and back in the 80s, when I was in high school, I bought a real Spanish-made morning star from a knife shop there. I couldn't believe they sold it to me.
They have the filming locations marked everywhere too! I'm not sure what that type of knife looks like but I do know that many don't have any idea that there are antique stores there with wonderful finds. We found a diamond engagement ring from the 40's for a fraction of what it was worth! Always worth a look!
@@travelingcatphotos It's a medieval weapon. The one with the spiked ball on a chain attached to a wooden handle. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Wow! Sounds really cool!
I LOVE the marine mammal center!
We had not been in YEARS! We were delighted to find out that our good memories were right no track and it's still just such a wonderful place to visit. Next time we'll do one of the in depth tours.
We love Solvang. A true treasure. Looks like you guys had a blast!! I might have to go back and try that cocktail!!
There are SO many bakeries...we definitely have to go back!
Sausalito holds a special place in my heart. Marty and I would mountain bike in the Marin Headlands Stat Park area and then drive to Sausalito for food and a beer or two. Then take the ferry back to San Francisco. Such fond memories of this area.
What a great memory to have. We still miss him. Thanks for hanging out with us...now we need to connect on the road and catch up again!
Another great video!
We are so happy you are enjoying them! 💗
I’m saving this video. The Park Ranger teaching Hawaiian vowel sounds was so interesting. Lots of good content!!
We were only hoping he'd pronounce the name for us so we would know if we were even coming close to saying it properly and got SO much more! It was super cool of him to give us so much of his time. But we have found that most park rangers are that way...very generous and even chatty if you give them a chance! This is, seriously, one of our favorite spots in the whole world. Thank you for spending your time with us!
16th AVE, not ST...there is also a 16th ST!
Yeah, I don't know how many times I corrected him...finally just put it on the screen 😅 Can't wait to go back and find more! Any tips?
Thanks. Nice free trip to San Fran. Love the place when some one else is driving.
It's always fun to find new places that are super cool!
FIRST COMMENT!!
I watch as much video of Mukuntuweap as I can and I am constantly amazed at the giant mountains and deep valleys I see. I did not think this park would be so big. One of the really freaky scenes is the ones coming out of that first tunnel. It's scary how high, and how close, those vertical walls are. I'm thinking if a 6 or 7 earthquake hits would those giant walls come down??? I hope next year my wife and I will travel I40 to Vegas and then up the I15 Virgin River Gorge to Mukuntuweap then on to the other parks in Utah. Probly a 2wk trip but it will be well worth it, especially Bryce and Arches NPs.
I'm not a fan of tunnels but it was worth it! I hope you enjoy this whole series on the Grand Circle. Each NP is simply amazing!
I’m going to have to take a road trip for some brisket.
Absolutely!! We seriously stack everywhere else against this place and nowhere has beat it yet!!
This was wonderful. We love the Steinbeck Center. Travels with Charlie is honest and truly my favorite book of all time. Great insights. It led me to sit down and read nearly all of his writings. Thank you for sharing this.
It's a great place to work!
This was a wonderfully thorough tour of an excellent museum. It really is worth a visit. I call it “the Jurassic Park of Steinbeck, … they spared no expense!” A worthy tribute and a great video.
It really is a jewel!
my favorite book was `Travels With Charlie`. Enjoyed that. Thanks for the tour.
It's a tie for me between that and Cannery Row!
If you search Google for “Clay Jenkinson Travels with Charley,“ he is following Steinbeck‘s route.
Oh my goodness, this is your best vlog yet!! I found this quite interesting. Thank you for sharing this wonderful armchair tour.
Thank you! Obviously I love my work. I think people think the museum is all about his books and don't realize it's really about the man. It's a truly special place!
Otters are so cute.
We just love them!!
This zoo is NOT in Monterey, it's located on the outskirts of Salinas ca.
Exactly! It would be more accurate if they called it the Monterey County Zoo instead!
We really enjoyed the safari tour. We did a video to, but I feel like you did a way better job painting a picture of what it was like. Awesome job.
Awww, Thank You! Glad you had fun hanging out with us. Can't wait to see where you go next! Our next up is the National Steinbeck Center. I have some behind the scenes stuff to share! Hope you guys are coming to Street Fair on the 21st! So much new stuff is opening there in the next few weeks!
Two interesting tidbits about the Cannery Row sculpture. First, the models were friends of the sculptor, Steven Whyte. Second, the plaque on the sculpture is actually a door that leads inside.
How cool! I never knew!
The aquarium isn’t cheap, but if you are local enough to take advantage of the membership, it’s a bargain! The hardest part is being inside when you know how beautiful it is outside!
We were members for several years. Unfortunately the rates raised WAY over what we can comfortably pay. Still, being a local means at least one free admission per year!
Thank you for another enjoyable adventure. Just wondering how boaters get to their boat with sea lions right there on dock. Are they aggressive?
It's fairly easy to get around them and they will usually flop back into the water but you wouldn't want to get aggressive with them. They weigh over 600lbs and it's mostly muscle. We were not terribly disappointed to have to go twice! LOL!
@@travelingcatphotos Thanks for answering my question. I definitely wouldn’t mind going twice!
My first trip there is a very good memory. Grandson and also his friends birthday parties in the picnic area. Then we all walked the Zoo. The Rose tigers were amazing. I had been in a lot of zoos across this country but never seen one before.
The big cats are definitely a draw here. We'd like to go back for Crunch Time or to stay at the B&B in the future as a treat!
We went about 5 years ago and it was just starting it's renovations. Looks like they did a lot and added so much! I think we need to go back!
We were so happily surprised. We really love the way that they made it so interactive with the QR codes!
We have to check this out. Have never been here.
The kids would LOVE it! The QR thing is a bit dodgy because of the internet out on River Road but if you just take photos of the signs you can still look them up later. Thanks for hanging with us!
Nice review. Thanks for visiting! There is much much more to Roaring Camp than you knew or explained. I suggest that people read about the place before arriving. The types of geared locomotives in operation, the spiral trestle, the beginnings of the place, the Mark Twain story, the SAME family owner and operator since opening. The conductor narrates the ride and can answer almost any question. EVERY child loves this place, 3 through 12 will be enamored, and always will hold a place in their heart for whom brought them here. Yes, the tickets appear to be costly for some. You will enjoy this life experience. Standing beside a live locomotive, peering into the firebox, the sounds, vibrations, smells, a fully encompassing experience. Ask about the engine house, sometimes a friendly mechanic will let you see things working. Go AGAIN, ride the desiel electric locomotive to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk! Read about their Moonlight dinner train! AND music venue events! Spring through early fall, a wedding booked almost every Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Midweek are less crowded.
LOVE this comment! I'm really into trains so I learned a LOT there but we know that not everyone is as geeky as I am about them so our goal was just to draw attention and try to show how beautiful it is so that the train fans would go and see them! We really loved this place and think the ticket price is totally worth it! I didn't know about the Moonlight Dinner Train! GOTTA do that one! Thank you SO much for all of this information! It's Awesome!
@@travelingcatphotos since you love trains, be sure to visit the Sacramento museum, and James Railroad. Both excellent in our state.
Don’t know if you’ll see this comment since your video was posted months ago, but I’m enjoying your videos. I didn’t know about the Vanillerie. (Spelling?). We come to Big Island every year or two and there is always something new to discover. Thank you!
Thank you! We are always looking for new places to see in Beloved locations. The Vanillarie was a great find! Hope you get to visit it on your next trip. Do you have a tip for us? Thanks for hanging out with us!
@@travelingcatphotosit looks like you stayed at the Kona Reef. That’s where we always stay as it’s a perfect location and has a nice pool and it just feels like home ther so I recommend it. We like day trips to the East side and always make sure now to have a full tank of gas going on the Saddle Road as there is no service along the way. One time we were praying we would have just enough gas to coast into Hilo which we did.
Hope you get the chance to watch the whole Hawaii series. There's just so much to see and do there!
I live on Big Island. Did you get a chance to see Sanctuary?
We did not...please tell us more!!
Loved the mermaid sculpture!! Looks like a fun place. Can you just go, even if you don't drink wine? Are kids able to go or is it 21+?
They are both kid and dog friendly! There were plenty of non-alcoholic options as well!
I always enjoy your adventures. What a nice place to visit!
That makes us very happy! We make these films for all of you guys out there who enjoy them! Thanks for supporting us!
I visited this place twice and totally enjoyed it. I rode both trains. As I am a European this is every bit an experience. On one occasion there was a steam engine event. The other time a reenactment of the civil war. Also quite enjoyable.
I love "modes of transportation" but am especially fond of trains. We had learned about Narrow Gage Railways at our local train museum in Salinas so it was fun to actually go ride one and learn a bit more about them. I've ridden the trains in Italy and in the UK...any you think we should make sure to ride on our next visit? Thanks for hanging out with us!
I have two favorites…Buttered Popcorn and Juicy Pears!
You hit on our 2 favorites!! Love them!
Carmel Apple and Popcorn....
I'm not sure if I've ever had the Caramel Apple before! Yum!
At one point, they had a Pineapple Pear flavor that was my favorite. Now my favorite is Juicy Pear or Dr. Pepper!
Their Pina colada is pretty good too!
Classic cherry jelly belly is my fave!
Harry's pretty fond of those too!
I think juicy pear might be my favorite jelly belly flavor. It’s an underrated flavor.
That's mine too!!
9:08 This lovely Douglas Fir (not a Redwood!) would be a teenager if it were human.
These trees fascinate me! We were just introduced to Ponderosa Pines up in Washington...I love their bark! SO much to learn about them. Thanks for hanging out with us!
Came across another one of your videos looking for something else so I took a break and watched. I can't get over how well you've narrated everything with lots of details Cat. I've never been here before and after watch this.. I'm definitely adding this place to my Local Cali bucket list! Keep up the great work You and Harry are doing sharing your experiences to all these great places and Thank You!!
Thanks for hanging out with us and your kind words! We are really enjoying the process of learning more about a place as we visit and it was fun and surprising to do the same about our own town! Hope you stop by and hang out with us again!
