For the fourth of July McKay and I took a spontaneous road trip to San Francisco to visit Kimball, Wendy and Jack. It was so fun! McKay's mom was in DC for a wedding so we had Papa Rob jump in the car with us. It was a blast! We got video footage of the whole adventure, so get excited for a feature length chronicle of our trip.
Highlights of the trip are as follows:
-New CD's for the drive (no iPod connector = old school burned CD's)
-killer fireworks purchased in Battle Mountain, NV
-breakfast at a tasty bakery/lounging and chatting late into the morning
-Santa Cruz beach followed by amazing Italian restaurant
-Pizzeria Delfina
-Meeting up with good friends from Provo - Ben and Rachel Steed - for sushi and A-Team
-Wendy's cooking (bruschetta, fresh strawberries, grilled chicken wraps, to name a few)
-Lovelock, NV: the small town we stopped in for dinner. We went to a barbecue place that was straight out of an old movie! There were old people sitting around eating baked potatoes and listening to the live local artists play old western classics. Lots of denim, big hair and beer. It was CLASSIC
-the creepy "rest area" on the way home: about a half hour outside of Wendover we HAD to take a quick stop and switch drivers. We followed the signs to the "rest area" which turned out to be two camping quality toilets (not exaggerating) behind some barricades with one dim street light overhead. Super sketchy/scary. I decided to wait until Wendover. McKay peed behind the building (shhhhh . . . )
-staying an extra day just because
and the best part of the trip . . .
-Jack started walking!!
The trip was a blast - even the 13 hour drive! Stay tuned for more video highlights.
