Above picture is of Emerson at the wheel. Notice correct 10 and 2 o'clock hand placement.I filled out a complaint card before I left the hotel to tell them how crappy they were. That made me feel better. Like an idiot, I put four dollars in their crappy slot machine and didn’t hit the jackpot so they will never see me again.
It felt great to climb in the car and head for home. YES!!! Sheldon is seriously tired of taking care of our pets.
Curt let Emerson drive for about 40 minutes and I only screeched once from the back seat. The picture of the road sign is where I was busy trying to draft a Will.
We stopped only for gas on the way home and still didn’t get in until almost 7:00 pm.
Only one little incident I want to mention. The last gas station where we filled up was Eagle’s Landing in Scipio. I went to the ladies room, chose the handicap stall and then realized (too late) that there wasn’t any toilet paper. There wasn’t even a dispenser. I couldn’t even see where one had been attached to the wall. So if you pretend you are handicapped like I do, or even if you are truly disabled, don’t use the handicap stall at Eagle’s Landing in Scipio because they don’t think you need any toilet paper! (Idiots)
I tallied up our gasoline bill on the drive back and it cost us $225 to drive to and from and all over California. Not too bad. On reflection, the only place I would revisit is Monterey.
Now, back to reality. Tomorrow is Sunday and two weeks ago I told my primary class I would bring them a treat and they asked for Tic Tacs. Funny kids. I said they could each have their own little box. Ever since, I have tried to find those little boxes. Not being up to date on my Tic Tac news, I now see that they have enlarged the little box into a much bigger box which I think is too much candy and money. I finally found some of the small boxes at a convenience store in CA but they wanted $1.29 per box. I don’t think so. What a pain! That is the last time I let seven year olds make an important decision like what treat they want!

The bathroom mishaps on this trip were astrinomical (spelling?). I think that your note to self should be, always have a square to spare, and make sure that you never get rid of that big gulp!
YES, YES! I have already done that. Only problem in this case was, I had tissue "square to spare" in my purse but it was hanging on the bathroom stall door completely out of reach (you know how big those handicap stalls are)so I just had to make a dash for it. I need to remember to keep these important things closer.
