On the road

So we've left Sonora and are now on the road to LA. We're spending the night with Amber's sister and her boyfriend in Pismo Beach. Since arriving we've been to a park that acts as a butterfly sanctuary and we walked on a pier out over the Pacific Ocean. After running some errands tomorrow we plan to drive down the coast and fly out late in the evening. So far, so good.

Getting ready

Ediza was playing in the backyard before we went to the trail today. She and mommy visited a horse at the trailhead before walking the old railroad grade in Tuolumne. For the first time since training for a marathon two years ago, I ran to the bottom and back to the top of the grade (a total of about 12 miles).

We are continuing to gear up for our big trip. In a week we'll be in LA getting ready to board a flight to Fiji.

Yesterday was my last day at work and I've been busy trying to hang out and say good-bye to everyone. I'm not complaining though as that means lots of eating out (everything from Indian to the Miner's Shack). Tonight we're going to Jenn's birthday celebration at The Old Stan.

In addition to packing, Amber prepared for the trip by getting her chakras cleansed last night:)
