Merced, California: Not a lot to report today. It was incredibly windy and we both ran. Why? Not totally sure. We were either airborne or running-in-place (or so it seemed with the high winds). Exercise finished, we spent some time with DT's Mom before fetching our niece, Aleria, from school. Aleria had just celebrated her 17th, so we took her birthday shopping at the mall. Always fun to take a teenager shopping. Can't believe we used to do this all the time when Lisa was a teen.
Exhausting. Wonderful. Entertaining. A learning experience.
In the evening, again the family gathered to eat too much food, drink too much wine and laugh. Laugh. Laugh. I can't tell you how much we are enjoying getting to know DT's cousin and her family from New York.
Though we spent the day with family and I didn't take a photo, doesn't mean I don't have something fun to share with you today. Something very cool. While we were camped at the Bakersfield's RV Resort last weekend we saw a familiar sight:


This may explain why I drive an old Honda CRV.







Until my next update, which will involve introducing our New York Cousins to In-N-Out Burger, I remain, "we need a new tow car" correspondent.
RV Park: Castle Air Museum Family Camp (in Atwater, California). The only game in town. We always stay here. It actually used to a a parking lot - but the Air Museum added eight 50-amp full-hookup campsites. It floods during a rainstorm. No bath house. No wifi. We love it here. Dogs allowed off-leash. Very casual. Quiet.
