We woke this morning to mist and fog. It was lovely. We left Concord yesterday morning and wound up in Grant's Pass, Oregon. The drive up was pleasant - other than my back hurting and me feeling a wee bit car sick...Gary commented that if I was feeling car sick, I probably shouldn't be crocheting in the car... mrrf...
Gary and Mijo are nice traveling companions. Gary stops when I need to pee (oh, about every hour), and Mijo helps out by needing to pee too. We found a cool Australian hat store - very off the beaten path - and Gary found two hats that he couldn't live without. So, they weren't cheap. And I love the fact that day one of vacation, the "male" is spending beaucoup bucks shopping. And I ended up with..... zucchini! Yup! And it was free too! (more on that story later...)
So, we all needed to go and pee. We saw a sign that said, "food and gas - next exit". Now this is in Oregon, "Land of the California-haters". So, we took the exit. We ended up 10 miles down the road, passing through a tiny little town with its sidewalks rolled up, and no place to pee. I mean really - no fast food joints (this can't be America without fast food places). We finally saw the gas station... it was a little tiny corner place, mom & pop sort of joint. You know, a little store with two gas pumps in the front. And it was closed. AARrrrrggg... And I had to PEE!! That was it. All the Oregonians were looking at us like we were aliens (or they were aliens - I'm not sure). Anyway, we left as quickly as we could! It was creepy!! Anyway, Gary found a little place to pull over so that Mijo could pee.... and guess what?!? They both got to go pee!! This is when I hate penis-owners the most! So, I hollered really loud to try and draw attention to the peeing men.... mrrrffff... I still had to pee... not fair!
The plan for day two is to continue north until we hit Seattle. We have both been there before... thank God we don't have to do the Space Needle again... So, what are we going to do?? Well, we are going to drink coffee, enjoy the fog, and walk hand in hand down the street (like lovers do)... but most of all we are just going to be together and enjoy each other.
Okay, so we may get in some additional shopping too...
Oh, and we are going to go to Pike's Market and look around. Maybe we'll find some more adventures
