On the road again...

Just like Willie Nelson, today we were on the road again (I really should try and get that on the blog playlist shouldn't I?).
We left beautiful Yosemite behind us at about 9:30.On the road we saw many signs for vista points but nothing seemed quite good enough to pull over for after having spent 3 nights in incredible Yosemite Valley so on we drove.
We found an A&W for lunch (an American fast food chain famous for it's root beer, although dad thinks it's root beer isn't that great, it's their fries that we like) and then after that our next stop was an American institution: Wal-Mart. Referenced in Gilmore Girls, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, South Park and so many more dad and I shared a fixation with the idea of visiting a real life one. And so we did, in the reasonably ugly city/town of Manteca. It's not that great really, like a large K-mart, maybe not even all that much bigger. How disappointing. Although what was not disappointing was that I finally found a pair of good boot-cut jeans there! So people, I am the "proud" owner of a pair of Wal-mart jeans. They aren't actually Wal-Mart brand but they're from Wal-Mart anyway,so it's what I'll nickname them. My Wal-Mart jeans. Maybe sometime in the near future I'll shorten that to my Wally's. That's a cool jeans nickname, don't you think? I have my Lucky's, my cords, my skinnies, my Kohl's and finally, my Wally's.
Afterwards we drove back to San Fran, well and truly in time for our Alcatraz tour at 5. Which was pretty cool by the way although dad and I think it would be better to go in daylight because then more sections would have been open and we could have stayed longer, rather than having to rush to the last ferry back. Will add photos later but dad's already sleeping and I should probably go to bed, it's been a long day. Remind me about the photos, 'kay?
