So...
Day 5 - New Years Stuff
Total Mileage: 1060.3 (figure about 16 miles total in San Fran)
Location: San Francisco- The Bay Area
Day 6- (the 1st) Same Stats as Day 5, we already had a blog for the day...
Day 7- (the 2nd) LEFT SAN FRANCISCO!!
So even though we left San Fran, we spent most of the day there. Bonnie made arrangements with MUNI and BART to chauffeur us to the Exploritorium and then to Pixar Studios. By the way MUNI and BART are a bus and a train.
We stopped at the Palace of Fine arts which was Gorgeous! It was a seemingly timeless place where we photographed swans and the beautiful palace. Then we finally made our way back to the Exploritorium where we learn about rings of air bubbles, our senses like seeing the red blood cells in the back of our eyes and had over come social reform and drink out of a toilet fountain.
At Pixar we had a Fantastic tour led by our personal guide Geoffrey! Though we had to leave our cameras behind, the secrets of Pixar and luxiourous life of their employees we couldn't deny! Workers have access to pools, fitness rooms, out door tracks, tons of indoor games, and an incredible outdoor theater. Everyone had toys and stuffed animals in their office, and they were encouraged to USE THEIR IMAGINATION- one guy turned his office into a Castle!
We hit the road finally by 6pm, and spent the night in Redding at the Hilton (references previously).
Daily Mileage: 212.6
Total Mileage: 1272.9
Location: San Fran/ Redding
Day 8
So I wanted to mention this trip was the 1st time I ever drove in 7 lanes of traffic, WOW! We had a Gas scare, We ALMOST RAN OUT! After leaving the big city, I forgot how apart gas stations could be... but we made it. Again this is when we were driving like
HE(double Hockey Sticks), and the we were warned the I-5 will be closed in the very near future.
So most of the day was driving, but we found this great mall with message chairs! I could have fed that thing money all day long.
Daily Mileage: 532.3
Total Mileage: 1805.2
Location: On the Road... (Redding, Ca to Reedsport, OR at the Salty Seagull Motel)
Day 9
We saw the Sand Dunes, a quick look at the Ocean, but the Weather was coming in fast and the news warned of 120mph winds! So we headed inland- Fast!
So Hello Beach, Goodbye Beach
We also stopped in Portland, OR to visit a friend of mine, Chris Ives, and Bonnie got to visit the Portland Art Museum and I got to hang out downtown at an awesome coffee shop. We also made a point of purchasing some New music: Fiest, Robin Williams Live Comedy, Michael Bubble, Colby Caillat.
Daily Mileage: 388.2 (we slept in)
Total Mileage: 2193.4 - by this time Bonnie was ready to kill me, and vice versa.
Location: On the Road- Reedsport, Ca to Hermiston, WA
Oh by the way I previously mentioned the hotel we got in Hermiston the Budget Inn, Doesn't Exist!
Day 10
Played Laser Tag at Laser Quest, we went to a movie, Juno, with my cousins in Spokane. They were so kind as to let us stay at their place in Spokane for the night!! Thanks Again!!!
Location: OTR- Hermiston, WA to Spokane, WA
Daily Mileage: 226.1 - I don't know what we did all day, tried to relax! We were Tired!
Total Mileage 2419.5
Day 11
Thank God We are home! We stopped in Missoula, ate lunch at Applebee's and went to Rockin' Rudy's a totally awesome random gift and toy store if you've never been there! Then we booked it on home!
The weather was suppose to be "cation do not travel", but we found a bright blue "summer sky" streaked along our pathway home, as far as we were concerned all roads were Green to go ( a reference to the weather map we used the whole trip).
We had a WoNdErFuL trip, but are quite happy to be off the road. Now I am booking it to move out of my apartment and getting on my way to New Zealand, and Bonnie going to San Francisco. No really she's going back! (We were suppose to look at colleges for her there, that's why we went... but... well, we didn't).
Location: Spokane, Wa to Bozeman, MT
Daily Mileage: 391.5
Total Mileage: 2811.0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
