McArthur Burney Falls Memorial State Park, CA.
The park is northeast of Redding, six miles north of Highway 299 on Highway 89 near Burney. The waterfall is within the McArthur Burney Falls Memorial State Park in Shasta County. There's also a campground with RV hook-ups, boating, rentals and places to hike. We took a 4 mile hike down to the falls and it is gorgeous. Bring your hiking boots because once you get to the falls there are many rocks. Fun fact, the PCT Pacific Crest Trail runs through the park.
The United States Senate, Washington DC.
If your planning a trip to Washington D.C., a must see & do is visiting the Senate while in session. While we were there we got to see Senator Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer give speeches on the wild fires in San Diego, CA.
Arlington National Cemetery
If your visiting Washington DC, we recommend seeing Arlington National Cemetery and the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier. They also offer a guided tour bus around the cemetery with knowledgeable drivers. Out of respect we did not take any pictures there.

Giovanni's Fish Market & Galley, Morro Bay, CA.
In Morro Bay is Giovanni's fish market and galley and they have the best fried calamari we've ever tasted. Next door is the fish market where you can purchase fresh fish or have it delivered to your home. Overnight home delivery anywhere in the USA.
Hearst Castle, San Simeon, CA.
We visited Hearst Castle in San Simeon on our way to Morro Bay. There are so many tours to chose from and we decided on the Upstairs Suites Tour because it included Mr. Hearst private suite and what a surprise that was. He had a pair of pink satin pajama's hanging in his closet! The whole castle is stunning and a must see & do.

Eating a Bison Burger at the Bear Paw, Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone National Forest
We never had Bison meat before and wanted to try it. We ate at the Bear Pit Restaurant inside the Old Faithful Inn after touring the famous Crows nest. If you don't want to walk to the Old Faithful Geyser, on the top floor you can watch it from the outside deck. Dean had the Bison Burger and I had the Bison Sausage wrapped in a pretzel bun. Both were soooo good!
