My Second America Tour of the Year

This time: Minneapolis, Las Vegas, Yosemite, and Bay Area

Here I am in Munich in the taxi on the way to the airport. Having my second of many meals today - this one in the airport lounge This is how I passed the time on the transatlantic flight - playing games on Daddy's laptop
Waiting for our luggage in O'Hare Airport in Chicago In the United Red Carpet Lounge in Chicago
Daddy, when can we fly on a 747? Now we're finally in Minneapolis. While we're waiting for Mommy to get ready, I play a round of billiards with Daddy in our hotel During the boring rehearsal for Sarahs's Bat Mitzvah, I play with Simon
And I continued to cause trouble... ...until Uncle Jason grabbed me and made me stop. Now the even more boring photo session
These are just a few of thousands of pictures At the least the pictures I'm in aren't so boring
My cuz Nanny, Poppy, and Mommy Mommy, Nanny, and Aunt Bonnie
Mommy wouldn't let me climb the tree in these clothes
Will Nanny and Poppy use this as a photo for their holiday card? Look closely: is this Venice or is it the Venetian in Las Vegas?
My new friends Mommy with her new friend And that's the new governor of California
How can he play the keyboards if he can't see? In the garden of the Mirage Hotel where Siegfried and Roy's tigers are now in retirement
Waiting in the Venetian parking lot for our car to arrive Still waiting I took this picture - with Daddy's new camera!
Goodbye Venice. Maybe I'll see the real thing one day
Now I can check New York off my list too Flying from Las Vegas to Fresno. Down there must be Death Valley Now we're in Yosemite. Behind us is Yosemite Falls
I think Daddy likes his new camera - he's taking lots of pictures. Even Mommy's learning how to use the camera Half-Dome
In the gardens of the Ahwanee Hotel Daddy and I with Half-Dome in the background Finally, a family picture. I wonder who took it?
Our own little Backroads tour around the Yosemite Valley I was pretty fast on that big bike
I love my Daddy And my cousin Simon too, of course. We're at the Greek Theater where Uncle Jason is getting his PhD
The graduation ceremony got a bit boring, so Mommy and the rest of us waited outside at the fountain Here's the new grad with his brother and sister Uncle Jason insisted we take a lot of pictures
Simon trying out Uncle Jason's cap I should wear that cap, Daddy; it matches my pants Sipping Champagne at Domaine Chandon restaurant in Napa Valley
Whispering something to Poppy Nanny and Daddy
Aunt Bonnie Daddy holding me and Simon Playing around on the lawn at Domaine Chandon
Mommy, Corinna, and Aunt Bonnie At King Tsin with Simon I went with Daddy to San Francisco and we played at the Exploratorium
And afterwards we walked to the bay
and watched the sun setting over the Golden Gate Bridge Daddy took me for a day to Fairlyland in Oakland
Of course I made the usual trip to Rossmoor to visit Nana
and Great Aunt Helen. I took this picture of Daddy. Poppy read me the Baby Beebie Bird almost every day
I love to take bubble baths when I'm in Berkeley And of course I love when Nanny makes me scrambled eggs Playing at the Oxford School playground
I helped Nicky and Katrina inaugurate their new swimming pool
and their new pool house. I wanted a window seat in the plane. I didn't realize I would get three windows in first class! I drew this in Kindergarten and Daddy liked it a lot.
