On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs. We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all.

Hey, that's just the way 95 looks when I travel to Fla. in Jan or Feb.

DeleteI hope you all are singing a lot:)
ReplyDeleteMy seven year old grandson and I have similar taste in music--Bob Dylan, Carole King, Janis Joplin! How long will that last?
DeleteI like getting there much better than most travel, unless it is over country roads and past rural farm lands. At least there are car games.
ReplyDeleteI hope the remainder of your trip remains safe and sane. Your observations on traffic are spot on.
ReplyDeleteThat is how most of the California freeways look all the time. Hope you make it home safe! There are some crazy drivers out there.
ReplyDeleteAre they too old for the alphabet game? You are a brave soul. Hope you're soon safely home.
ReplyDeleteAlphabet game, twenty questions, and name that tume pretty much got us through.
DeleteHave a safe trip -- those cars also have some pretty crazy drivers, too!!
ReplyDeleteYep, it's like that around here in Seattle too, traffic everywhere. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it! My kids are camping and we are entertaining the grandkids. Having a blast!

I tend to be like the grandchildren, preferring to fly rather than drive unless it's only a couple of hours. The increased traffic is a big reason why.
ReplyDeleteHope the rest of the trip goes smoothly.
Aw, I miss those long trips with my parents in the car. We played games a lot. It was nice being and having a captive audience, eating out and motels with swimming pools. Today I still enjoy the trip almost as much as the destination.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and happy trip.
I agree with your grandkids! Give me a plane any day! Lol.
ReplyDeleteOh! You should come here. We do traffic like nobody else.
