In spite of the government's worst efforts, we had (as mentioned) a lovely time on our vacation. After many years of family road trips, several recurring features have become a predictable part of our vacations. Here is the 2013 edition of that broad rhetorical question "Would it be a vacation without..." (and the implied answer is "Absolutely not!").
... ice cream almost every day? (Thank you Reimers and The Forks).
... a movie almost every night? (Why else would there be a DVD player in our room?)
... a hike that is just a bit too long, for somebody, well almost everybody, except Dad? (Nelder Grove and Lewis Creek Trail. Which is why we have ice cream).
... a museum docent who is absolutely thrilled to discover someone willing to listen? (Thank you to the enthusiastic hosts at California State Mining and Mineral Museum and Mariposa Museum).
... at least one restaurant that becomes a new family favorite? (Thank you DiCicco's).
... a few hours at the local bookstore? (Thank you Branches Books.)
