Hello this is Alastair and I will be giving the rundown of the last 2 days of the trip. Yesterday Mom and Dad woke up around 8 in the morning and starting driving, all of the kids were still in their beds asleep when the driving started, which helped me sleep longer and Addie sleep to 11 am. The thing that woke me up was the girls watching the Little Rascals which is the untitled official movie of our family. Then we went to Adel's Restaurant in Eureka, CA and I had the breakfast sampler which is pancakes and about every side on the menu, it was quite scrumptious.
After we drove for a little while later and jammed out to some tunes we heard a scratchy metallic sound coming from behind the RV. Dad got flagged down by a state trooper so he pulled over on the shoulder when the road became less bendy. One of the dolly tires had slipped and the wheel started scraping on the road. The tire started whipping around and broke the tail light lens and dented the dolly fender. But we fixed it easily by just putting on the spare tire and kept going.
We went to drive through a redwood tree but it wasn't the famous one, just a side show rip-off of the real deal famous one. Somebodies car broke down in the middle of the tree so me and Dad went to help get it out of the way. After that we had smooth undisrupted driving to the Petaluma KOA. After we set up we went to the movies. Dad intended to see the movie about Mr. Rogers but everything was unavailable except for, The First Purge. None of us intended to see it ever so I am kind of indifferent about it. But it's good that the little opted out because that was rated R and pretty gory with some vulgar language. After that we went o the RV and went to bed.
This morning Mom and Dad went to get some auto related gizmos to fix all the previous days problems. When they got back I helped Dad fix the RV up before we headed to San Francisco. We met our Grandparents, Papa and Nana that is, at Bubba Gump on Fisherman's Wharf and we went inside to eat. I got Coconut Shrimp which was pretty good. I got distracted by a screen playing Forrest Gump with no subtitles or volume. So I did all the volume from memory. After that we went to Pier 39 to see some sea lions. But only one was present because they g away in the summers to breed. Then we went to the Boudin Sourdough Factory, Museum, and Restaurant. We learned about sourdoughs history and watched the factory from above which was fun. We walked on the pier for a little bit and then went to the Musee Mechanique which has a bunch of old school arcade things and I did a couple. Then we walked to Ghirardelli's Chocolate and got ice cream. I got a root beer float which was very good.
After ice cream we walked a little to the car and then drove down Lombard St. which to our knowledge is the curviest street in the United States. The we bid adieu to our Grandparents and/or Parents. Then we drove back to our KOA and just played around on the playground and the girls swam while I went to the arcade. Then we came back to the RV and settled down and took showers. That concludes the last two days on the road.
Tune in next time,
Alastair
