Headed north


Of course there was a mandatory stop at the Olive Pit in Corning yesterday, and yes, we came out with a box of goodies. You would need stronger willpower than we have to resist those bargains.

We left Calistoga early and the drive north on I-5 went smoothly. It's scenic passing by Mt. Shasta and going over the Siskiyou mountains. The weather is still warm and nice.

In California, the big trucks on the freeway behave and go the speed limit in the right lane, where they belong.  They go slightly crazy when they reach Washington. Maybe the California mellow yellow wears off when they hit clouds and rain. I know the feeling.


We stayed in Medford last night and had dinner with my niece, her husband and their two adorable little boys.  They made a delicious gourmet salad with barbecue chicken, and after a week of restaurant food what a treat.  Best of all was spending a few hours with our family, and we loved seeing their beautiful new home.   Thank you, April and Jordan!

On to Portland today...
