Summer 2015: Roseburg, Dunnigan (will never be Done AGAIN!) and Santa Cruz

 On the road again. Our first stop was Roseburg. We stopped at the first exit at a Super 8 that was overpriced. When we left the next day and drove the next exit had a Ross and more hotels - might be something cheaper and we can look for deals at Ross. 

Our next stop for the night was Dunnigan at the Motel 6 that was also an America's Best Value Inn. Our first two Motel 6's of the trip were very nice and updated. This one wasn't. It was awful and in the middle of Children of the Corn but the corn had just been taken down - so barren farm land. There were large bugs and a wasps nest right outside our door. There was no love or upkeep put into this motel. Again, the next morning we headed on our way and one of the next stops was Vacaville and we saw a carousel and some action at that stop - and many more hotel options. Soon, we will learn the places that we like to stop. We are getting this trip down more and more each year. 
 Rest stop - blowing dandelions. We played with the ball and he fell and scraped his knees so we put on poly, band-aids, and pants.

 41st street is the exit you take to Capitola Mall - don't forget this!!

Vegas Annibirthversry Days: May 16 - 20, 2013 - The Boy's First Flight

My birthday started on Wednesday when we were still in Vancouver. Jonny, Christian, and I went for a walk and chill. Jonathon got his hairs trimmed up and we sat at a couple of different city spots and enjoyed the different flavours and views. Somewhere along our travels we lost Sophie the giraffe and wish her well in her new life. I envision her with a cute little puppy squeaking happily. Christian's new favourite things to put in his mouth are water bottles.... and... Gatorade bottles...  At one of our chill spots Jonny gave me my birthday presents... I scored! I also won ten bucks on crossword scratch and wins. It was a great day that started with swimming and ended with beers with G in Gastown. None of it was planned it just was one of those nice sunny I am leaving for Vegas on my birthday tomorrow days.  The next morning came too soon. A hang over is never fun and it is even less fun with a baby that wakes up and is ready to go and is smiling at you an...

Is that a leaf blower?

I was walking back from the beach and there was a man in the parking lot fiddling around with what looked like a hand made leaf blower. I was staring at it and then looking around for leaves but I couldn’t see any. Hmmm.. I went to my room and was reading my book and I heard this loud noise. This must be the weed wacker.. what.. you know what I mean! THEN, the smell and fog hit me. I am outta here. I know what this is. This for the nyamuks! (mosquitos!) I went away and ran some errands and came back to a dengue/malaria free zone. I guess this is a good thing… but now that I see, hear, and smell how it is done I also question how safe was that fog that I breathed in? Wave report: The waves are still small! I don’t mind too much. I know that it will be huge on Sunday and then they will be too big! Run report: I went for a quick 3km tempo this morning. I was listening to the Roots – How I Got Over – the whole time. That is all I have been listening too since it came out and it is help...
