Back on the Road....Eastward version

On Wednesday February 20, I said good-bye to Pinnacles National Park and drove via 101 to LosAngeles.  Interstate 5 was closed due to snow but 101 was beautiful clear and sunny - the best of California!  I was quite happy for the detour as I had hoped to drive through my old 'hood at some point during my time in California.  Happily I had been able to get a steroid injection in my neck the day before which made the driving more comfortable.

I arrived at sister Liza's loft in the afternoon and was able to visit with my niece Pippa and her boyfriend Danny who had returned from a 4 month trip around Europe. I also got to cuddle with niece Lelah's adorable little boy, Truman.

Contemplating the U-haul

Vinny ready for a road trip!


We enjoyed a nice dinner and lively game of Yahtzee.  On Thursday we spend the morning organizing the trailer and loading the shipment of paintings I am taking back to Maine.

We actually goton the road at 1pm and started heading East.  We made it to Blythe CA just shy of the Arizona border.
