On Friday, February 26th we packed up the car, had a fa
rewell brunch in Scottsdale, and left for California to visit Alex's Uncle Jason and Aunt Patty. We are only going to be there for the weekend, but we hope that there will be lots of adventures for Stanley.
We crossed a time zone when we got the California. That means that the time here is 2 hours earlier than at home in Minnesota. It is very confusing, but Mr. Knaus will explain it to you. :)
The entire trip to California was 386 miles and took about 6 1/2 hours. Most of the driving was through the desert. It was very dry and lonely looking. In some places you could drive for 30 minutes or more without seeing any people or houses.
We stopped for gas in a little town near Palm Springs California, and
Stanley found a super cool car parked next to us. It was bright yellow and had skulls painted all over the sides. Stanley decided he wanted to ride in that car instead of our Honda, but we talked him out of it. Besides, the people who owned the car did not like the way Stanley kept getting his fingerprints all over the shiny paint.
As we neared the larger cities in Southern California, we came to a place where there were windmills as far as you could see. They provide the people of California with clean energy to heat and cool their
homes, and not o
nly that they are very exciting to look at. Some day we may have windmill farms in Minnesota too.
We got to Rancho Santa Margarita at about 4:00. It was fun to see Uncle Jason and Aunt Patty, and Stanley was happy to meet the cats, Margaret
and KC. KC is shy, but we will try to send a picture of her later. Uncle Jason gave Stanley a few le
ssons on the guitar, and made us a super duper pizza. It was delicious!
More to come later,
HAPPY TRAILS
Grandma Lynne and Grandpa John
