Vacation (Days 3 & 4)

The vacation continues, with a visit to a few more places on Friday morning in Sedona, AZ. Grabbed a few more panoramic images that can be stitched together later... We then continued south into the 'hot' portion of Arizona, Phoenix, spending the rest of the afternoon in a pool in Scottsdale. Went to the Arizona Diamondbacks and LA Dodgers on Friday night, a great 11 inning game which saw the Dodgers coming out on top. Was also treated to some nice fireworks after the game, which was viewable from a portion of the upper deck at Chase Field. (Images below)





Saturday (Day 4) was spent traveling from Phoenix, AZ to Anaheim, CA. Arrived there and went to see the Pacific Ocean at Huntington Beach, where the water was very chilly. Only spent a few minutes grabbing some pictures there and wading in the water. California really didn't seem like that great of a place to me, the weather was cool which wasn't too bad, but the overall conditions there including the terrible smog that ruins all sorts of scenery were definitely not something that I could spend time looking at.
