Road Trip

Before kids, one of Jonathan and my favorite things to do was to go on a road trip. We even drove from San Francisco to Washington, DC when we were in our early twenties. We used to make mix tapes, and plan our stops along the way, exploring small towns and the countryside.

Tomorrow we head to Santa Barbara for our camping trip. It will be the boys' longest road trip to date. With two boys under five, we are planning for a slightly longer trip than the estimated five and half hours.

We figure a road trip is like flying, except that you can make a lot of pit stops. We plan to leave between 10 and 11 am, and we hope the boys will nap along the way. We are taking Highway 101 which is pretty boring between Salinas and San Luis Obispo. We plan to stop in San Luis Obispo for a break. Wish us luck.
