California here we come!!!

I booked our airline tickets for our September trip. We are flying our favorite airline, Southwest. I have flown numerous airlines and Southwest is my favorite so far. Plus I have a southwest rapid rewards account so I was able to get one of our tickets for free.

Technically we are flying into Las Vegas, spending 3 days in Las Vegas, and then driving to California for four days. We will then drive back to Las Vegas and fly back to St. Louis. First time for us to Las Vegas. I have been to California but my fiancee hasn't.

We didn't visit any parks this weekend. Just spent time working on my yard.

Rockwood State Park

We went to Rockwoods Reservation today to hike and to look for morel mushrooms. We had a fun hike but found no mushrooms. I think it is too cold for mushrooms but a co-worker thought it might be a good weekend. Oh well, we will try again next weekend.

Rockwoods Reservation is a nice smaller park located outside of Eureka Missouri. It is a bit different because there are privately owned houses throughout the park. It was a bit odd to be hiking surrounded by complete wilderness but still hear a heavy duty lawn mower in the background.

We didn't find any morel mushrooms but we did see some non-edible mushrooms. This one was my favorite.
