South Bound

So we got up and motivated. I did all the chores I had procrastinated on. We only left an hour later than planned. After a quick stop at a store and the gas station we were on our way. Then we hit stop and go traffic. There was a fender bender. That killed another hour for us. We finally were really on our way three and a half hours after my plan.

We enjoyed the ride. We saw hordes of sheep. We saw pumpkins being harvested. Strange to see trailer loads of them. The littles got to watch a helicopter land. Fall is in its glory with color. By the time we hit California it was dark. That highway between Grants Pass and Crescent City is horrible at night for a person who suffers from motion sickness. I almost never get sick when I drive, but this was winding with no visual cues. Oy.

We are in the redwoods and I saw a few tremendous bases already. The little man and I are both looking forward to daylight tomorrow to see the trees in the light. 

Day one is a complete success with mostly good behavior on all our parts.
