Early in the morning to rise, get them out and give them a safety briefing and signed out of the area. Board two vans and my car and we are off. Silly LT wants to go through Los Padres and up Hwy 1 to Monterey, a 2 1/2 hour trip. 3 stops later because of car sickness, we arrive in Monterey. A Stop for coffee, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Bubba Gumps, A Glass Bottom Boat ride, Shopping, lots of shopping and an urgent call to return due to a large vegetation wildland fire. 80 to 85 all the way back on Hwy 101. Get back, on standby, not so urgent afterall. The entire time having fun, right? Yes, however my mind always drifted off to Oregon and Lynda. That is where I wanted to be all day.
