Go Time!

We picked up the 40 foot RV in Clayton CA yesterday...at a place connected to a feed store! The RV is ridiculous. It really is just a small home; there is so much space inside. It's officially named See Ya by Alfa. Which means we will be calling it Alfie for the duration of the trip. Pics to come soon. We parked it in Pacifica CA right on a cliff overlooking the ocean at the San Francisco RV Park. The summer months here though mean foggy and slightly cool weather and I don't think we packed the right clothing.

Last night, we met some of Keith's college friends out for dinner and drinks in San Francisco. Today we need to stop at a Target-type store to stock up on provisions then find a spot to watch the World Cup final. Michelle arrives around 6:30PM. The plan is pick her up at the airport in Alfie then immediately head north. The next stop is Mendocino CA.

Disco Era Cross Country

Since I was talking about previous cross country trips already, I had to include a photo from one of my family's numerous trips. Growing up in a military meant moving every few years and our family always made the move into a vacation. If this photo is the trip I'm thinking it is, my parents had my uncle and his buddy (both fresh out of high school) drive our VW bug across the country with us. I'm not sure if that idea was wilder or if it was my handmade clothes. Gotta love the late '70s!

And NO, that is not the RV we want to take on our trip in 2010!
