Heading South!

Road Trip!

We headed out to California on the afternoon of November 29th. It was time for the knees to get out of town! The car could not have taken one more item! Add a 50-pound LONG dog and it was very cozy. Being the good sport she is, Tessie traveled well and we arrived in California by 2:30 the next afternoon. We had a nice visit with Liz’s sisters Robin and Cheryl in Antioch, and then headed off to dinner with old friends Cindy, Carla, and Beth. It was wonderful to see everyone and only wish we had enough time in town to visit with everyone we wanted to.

We arrived at Karen and Dawna’s house in Concord that night ready for a good night’s sleep. Thanks to our dear friends for taking such good, loving care of us. We really enjoyed visiting with the family, including the girls Dakota and Marina (thanks for introducing us to Wi rock and roll!), the puppies Casey, Carly, and Chrissy, and kitty Kit Kat. Tessie had a blast hanging out with the family while we took care of business in the Bay Area. Not only did we leave feeling loved, Tessie received a new reindeer, raccoon, and sweet potatoes from her aunties.

It was really nice visiting Aunt Helen and our friends at the Shorebird Nature Center. Finding more room for the rest of our stuff was challenging and Aunt Karen had to give the okay for Tessie to travel behind the drivers’ seat. Off to the Baja!
