Sacramento California. Solvang is town near Santa Barbara.
A 6 hour drive turned into a 24 hour show, where my uncle and aunt ended up driving both my sister and me in a borrowed work truck (after re-loading all of her belongings) to Sacramento. My Aunt did not even have her shoes on.
It was a weird couple of days.
I take it you drive automatic now?
Now, but the first new car I bought was in fact a stick. I had a Mitsubishi Eclipse for about 10 years. Fun little Napa Red 5 speed.
It really was the damn clutches fault - it was ready to go when they loaned it, and they knew I was relatively new at driving stick!
Sucker-punched by family again!
Aren't you hankering for a road trip one of these days?
Yep. Give me a bit of time but soon.
Off to feed the kids.
I had a ball going with the family through NoCal. The redwoods, Monterey, Carmel and San Fran were a blast!
Aww...you just made me homesick for the Bay Area.
(...which is quite a feat, since I hate the Bay Area now.)
Who wants to go to Sonoma and get WASTED one of these days?!

Jaily.. JUST for wine? wha'?
I'd rather go to Key West and get wasted there :)
Wow, no beyootch for a while. I had family in for the weekend, and damn, I need a break!
3 more days until Undi's in Seattle, and 4 more days until she's in Vancouver!
What are the plans, folks? I'm working Wednesday and Thursday so I don't know if I'll be online at all.
I am very very jealous of all of you getting to have fun and meet up.
Have fun!
And, I want details.
Hiya b!tches!
Tiff... we'll be leaving hopefully early on Friday for Vancouver. It think Fido is cool with us waiting for you on Saturday night... he'll sleep in the car on the way back.
Are you sure it won't be a problem for him? I don't want you guys losing your softball game on account of me! I can tell you guys for sure tomorrow. I know I have Good Friday off - I need to see if I get Easter Monday off, and if I have work then or Tuesday, so I can figure out when I'll need to be back in town.
*sigh* He said he would risk being late to his softball game, if it meant keeping you happy. And if they do poorly, he'll just blame it on you anyway.
I am not playing on Sunday - we're taking a short road-trip!

God, I love that boy. Oh, now I've got all that pressure to be a fantastic guest!
Hostess, you mean? Yep.
Oh yes. That, too.
The worst case scenario would be...Saturday night, 7:30pm...I'm at the game, you guys are sitting at a bar waiting for me, going, "Well THAT wasn't very much fun. Do you think she'd REALLY care if we leave without her? We'll just leave her duffle at the GM Place entrance. Surely nice Canadians won't take things that aren't theirs!"
OH, we would never do THAT.
We would wait for you and give you the duffel in person... and then leave.
I wouldn't want to inconvenience you guys that much. At least toss the duffle and then text message me the gate it's sitting by so I can retrieve it at intermission!
Oh but it would be so much more fun to drive away... waving...
