WoW! Nice Pics

The pictures are really nice. All of you look like you're having such a good time! Now, that's the way to travel. How was death Valley? I bet it's beautiful! Why is it called "Death Valley?" Did you guys take pictures there as well? You've got to keep us parents abreast of every teeny weeny detail. Some of us are living vicariously through each of you. Well may be not all of us, but I am. So humor me and tell me everything. What about Lake Isabella? Where'd it get its name? Don't forget-I'm checking the blog and expecting updates. LOL
