National Parks, CA

Did you know California has the most national parks out of any other state? It has nine. Nine?! I'm surprised but shouldn't be considering it has everything else, beaches, mountains, sun, good Mexican for two bucks, I could go on. It's Marcia Brady of the fifty states. Is there anything this state doesn't have? Oh, wait, money. I didn't watch the show religiously, but Jan did seem like the smartest Brady. (It was probably the glasses --dumb TV stereotypes corrupting my young brain!)

Back to the nine national parks, thus far I've been to two. These are pictures from the second one, Death Valley National Park. The first national park I visited in California, in America to be precise, was Sequoia. I went there when I was seven or eight. If I cared about photography then I might be a professional photographer by now. Regardless, I was too busy estimating the possibility of Jack's beanstalk or if any of the giant sequoias could produce a giant peach. It's the best national park for kids because suddenly make-believe seems pretty darn real next to this. Yeah, slap me silly next time I complain about my childhood.

7 anchors, hear me out though! Logically it should be five anchors because I've only been to two out of the nine national parks, but we all know how gorgeous our national parks are. So, 9 gorgeous national parks + 1 diverse and equally gorgeous state - smog - debt - traffic = 7 anchors. See, my decision was logical after all.
