We arrived in Petaluma, California two days ago. We really enjoyed the drive on 80 through the Tahoe area. It was so beautiful, and someday we hope to go back and visit the area when we have more time. The roads in California seem to be in need of repair and were quite bouncy considering that we were on a major highway!
My kids are really enjoying the campground here. There are lots of things for kids to do and lots and lots of kids to play with! We don't have satellite tv and only have limited cable - the kids haven't complained one time!
Yesterday we went to Muir Woods to see the redwood trees. All of us really enjoyed looking at the giant trees! It is so quiet and peaceful there. We had visited there before in 2002 but the kids were too little to remember.
Last night for dinner we went to the Rhode's house for dinner. Blake used to do Public Relations for the Giants and he and his wife Karen became friends of ours during our time here. We had an excellent dinner and a great time!
Today our generator is getting an oil change. It needs to be serviced every 150 hours so we can keep it turned on while we drive. It runs our A.C in the coach and the tvs while we are driving.
We are headed to the Giants game tonight to watch them play the Dodgers. We are very excited and looking forward to seeing the few friends we still know from the front office and coaches. There are only a few players still here from when Scott played here.
Tomorrow we head to Eugene, Oregon to see my mom and sister.
I really enjoy reading people's comments on the blog.... if you have any questions about our trip, please post them and I will try and answer them. Wireless connection is sometimes hard to find!
Just saw you on SF Giants Broadcast! Great Work! Thanks for helping out Junior Giants! Best to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteHey Scott! Have a great, safe trip. You were a damn good Giant, and you're always welcome back in SF!
ReplyDeleteyou were a great giant sir, and you seem like an even better father. cheers to you.
ReplyDeleteI-80 near Lake Tahoe is rough due to heavy wear from tire chains during winter. That's the main route from the Bay Area to some of the best skiing in the country!
ReplyDeleteJust saw this on the Giants game and had to check it out. What a fantastic adventure for your family. I'm certain they will remember it forever! Looking forward to reading the rest of your blog.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia looks like it it was a lot of fun. I have family in Northern California and need to go see those Redwoods. Have a safe trip to Oregon guys...
ReplyDeleteHey guys! We have the same pictures of Muir Woods from last summer. Although, it is my family in the trees! I love reading about your trip! It sounds like so much fun and like I need to pack for colder weather when we head to Vancouver in a couple of weeks! Laura, you are getting to be quite the photographer! I love the picture of Maggie! Have fun and be safe! Talk to you soon.
