We had several attempts at granting Melrose's wish to see, touch, play and experience snow.
Attempt # 1: Mt. Charleston, near Las Vegas.
On Christmas day, before driving back from LV to Bakersfield, we drove to Mt. Charleston. Put up with the very slow moving traffic only to be stopped along the way by the park rangers. So Melrose is not totally disappointed, Carmel stopped at the town next to Bake where it kind of snows.
Attempt #2: Sequoia National Park
Two days later, we were again driving to see snow, this time at Sequoia National Park.As Melrose's luck (or lack of it) wold have it, a couple of minutes into the park, before we could even see a lot of snow, we were prevented from going further. The reason: power outage.
Attempt #3: Yosemite National Park.
On our way down from Sacramento, we've decided our final attempt. If this doesn't work out, Melrose will just have to come back next Christmas and this time fly to a state, where it definitely snows. And finally, we succeeded!
im dreaming of a white christmas... hay ethel :-) lucky lucky lucky you!
ReplyDeletericky, i have to be honest... i have not had a white Christmas...not just yet. Last time I was in the US for Christmas, I was in NYC, it did not snow until January! You can imagine how disappointed I was...Last year, we were in Las Vegas, where it did not snow for Christmas. I was told that it did a week before then.
ReplyDeleteI would much rather think that I'm blessed than lucky ;) Ikaw, punta ka na dito kasi!
