On the Road Home

We leave on Saturday morning to beat the Sunday traffic through LA.
The San Fernando Valley on a very clear day

Fields outside of Camarillo


Chef Holly treats us to buttermilk pancakes for Sunday breakfast.



We're off fairly early to get a head start on the crowds leaving LA going back north.
North of Santa Barbara

Entering Gaviota Pass
The Rest Area was so crowded we didn't stop


Entering the Gaviota tunnel

Yup - I'm a sucker for the Fall colors in the vineyards and fields.



Some of the sights along the way traveling north on 101
Santa Maria river

Goodyear blimp on its way home

Barn and vineyard

Which is the real windmill?
Working windmill

Not! Disguised cell tower @ Bradley rest stop


Getting close to home we drive up the Salinas Valley (America's salad bowl) and over to Monterey Bay.

Quiet evening on Elkhorn Slough

Ahhh - home again! Peter is pooped after all the driving.


We better rest up as much as we can. We leave for Tennessee in a few days. Christine is having a baby soon.
