California Dreaming

We have spent the better part of 3 days traveling around California – I do mean the entire state.  We entered on I-40, went through Bakersfield to Paso Robles, up the PCH to San Francisco to Oakland and now down to Carlsbad.

The kids have been great throughout the driving and sight seeing.  The drive up the PCH from Gold Gate Bridge to Point Reyes had everyone spellbound and mouths agape at the beauty.  It is interesting watching Remy, Rogan and Rory take in the scenery and to see their reactions to the cliffs, ocean and wildlife.

Today is Rogan’s birthday and we’ll celebrate it at Legoland. We drove until 1:00 AM to arrive at our hotel, a day early, so that we could spend the entire day taking in the park’s attractions. This is our splurge day.  We’ve tent camped, crashed(ing) at friends homes and stayed at inexpensive hotels. We’ve eaten more sandwiches in the last week than we have in the last 3 months!  Now we’re in a nice hotel and going to an amusement park. The kids have seen the full spectrum of our economic options.

Resa plans to post pictures tonight at her blog. Apologies for not having any on mine as of yet.
