On the road!

We left the house at 11:06, after lots of last minute “Where is THAT?” “Where is THE OTHER THING?”

Whew! Weather is nice for traveling- overcast and around 60 degrees. Kids are doing activity books, on the same page at the same time, so there is no competition and mutual enjoyment. Pulled grapes out of the plug-in cooler for a snack- settling in for the 382 mile drive! Have the camera handy for pictures of the road- brought two projects to knit- should be interesting to see how ambitious I actually am! ;o)

The Burb did well on the first day out. There was a major climb- 7 or 8 miles of 7% upgrade. Made it to the top- 4310 elevation! The sign saying this was the highest elevation on I-5 was reassuring- go truck!

We watched the temperature climbing as we headed south- felt good for a bit- then just plain hot. We cooked skirt steak and had ranchero grillin' beans for dinner- then hit the pool. It was not skimmed, but definitely cooled us off. I got cold, but the kids and Joe played in the pool until the management gave us a 15 minute warning. Aside from the grass bugs- just the camp site to get us rested and on our way to Yosemite tomorrow- crack of dawnish!
