Trip Update:
Things are going pretty much according to plan. Ok, so we didn't plan for Thing 1 to do an upchuck right there in the booth at Chili's. But
short of that, we're doing ok.
We tried to stop and walk along the Golden Gate Bridge but a sunny Sunday afternoon had brought out all sorts of folks, making parking difficult and we just wanted to get through town and away from the traffic of it all. The Things seemed cool with that. They seem to be inheriting their parents dislike for traffic and crowds.
We stayed with Hubby's uncle in what the Things called his hotel. They were most impressed with the fireplace next to the toilet while I prefered the massage chair and the all hard wood floor decor. Oh, and the giant kitchen island with the professional Viking Stove and hood was also worth a bit of envy.
Note, this is NOT Uncle's hotel but rather Weird Mrs. Winchesters very odd house in San Jose. His house is big, but not that big.
Today we made the scenic drive through the Central CA valley. If I hear snickering, that surely means you too have "enjoyed" the drive of I-5 from the Bay down to San Diego. Suffice to say, we both agreed that yes, there is a stretch of road that is even more boring than those roads found in parts of Nebraska and Iowa.
Now we're relaxing and regrouping for some fun in the sun. The locals say it will be cooling off in the next couple of days: no more 80s plus, instead: brace yourself, it is only going to reach the high 60s! Considering CO is expecting yet another Friday filled with flurries, we are pretty ok with a California cold front. Besides, we get to meet Shamu tomorrow.
Now lets see if I can give us all one more dose of Baby E! He is indeed EVERYTHING a baby should be and more...and he has made this trip worth all the headaches associated with travel.
