Clearly the real-time running diary was a bust. I have a myriad of excuses, from "it was hard to post while driving" to "I couldn't get a data signal on my PDA phone, so I couldn't email posts from the road."
However, the trip was essentially a success, and as promised, here is a basic recap:
We left at around 5 AM on Saturday morning, and made it to SAC a little before 2 PM. It was a fairly uneventful drive up, with the exception of the aforementioned tragic Spongebob sighting and Adam projectile sneezing an M&M miraculously on to his own cell phone rather than my car's upholstery. I may post a pic of this later, but this is a family Blog, and its not a pretty picture.
In any event, we made it to Sacramento, wrangled with the leviathan that is the freaking jacuzzi, and after about an hour and a half of hassle, were strapped down and ready to go.
At that point, it was decision time. It was about 4 PM, and we still were uncertain whether we were going to try to cannonball run back home Saturday afternoon, or stay the night in SAC at the home of one of my dearest friends and former PJI co-workers, Kathi.
Before officially deciding our fate, we met Kathi and her daughter Kimberly at Chili's for an early dinner. We had a wonderful time catching up; Kathi is getting married this June, and it was neat to hear how the plans are coming. I am honored to be an usher in the wedding, and will be posting pictures and recaps from the festivities after it happens. Suffice to say, however, you will want to tune in to this site on June 27th for a review of the the interesting pre-wedding entertainment she and her fiancee Roger have planned, involving a mix CD and "Behind the Music-style" interviews. Awesome.
Anyway, Adam and I decided that we had the energy to pull off the round-trip-in-a-day scenario, and elected to make a run for home Saturday afternoon. However, a final stop was in order...
