Seriously, the world is conspiring against me. When I have an internet connection I have no time. When I have time, I have no internet connection. But right now, the dogs are asleep, the kids are settled down in front of a movie, and I can type uninterrupted for a few minutes.
In any case, after we left Disney, suntanned, relaxed, and happy, we headed north. I had planned on driving rather quickly up toward Monterey on I-5, but Mom wanted to drive out of the heat and boring scenery so we cut across. Unfortunately in my sleep deprived state, I decided we should cut across to 1, not 101, I've always harbored a secret desire to travel that way. It wasn't a great plan for that day though, since once we finally reached the water it was foggy. However, we got to see a lot of cool things on our way, despite the fog...
