Day 11 - Ojai



This was the last day of our road trip, and  we spent it on the road.  We drove from San Fransisco to Ojai, a little town outside of L.A.  Tomorrow we go to the townhome that we will be staying in while we are in Los Angeles.  We were planning on driving down the coast, but the fires in the Big Sur have closed down portions of the road we were planning on taking.  We were afraid of detours and traffic, so we took the long boring Interstate 5 all the way.  It was evening when we got to Ojai, and it seemed like a sweet little town.  We stopped at all the hotels, and got the last available room in the whole town.  We walked to the town square and the kids played on a great playground.  We picked up some burritos we could eat while the kids played, and then we walked around the town square a little bit.  The next morning we let the kids swim in the pool before we got off, and then it was on to our little house, and goodbye to our sweet road trip.  We enjoyed it more than we thought we would.  We've decided that this was really and exploratory tour, and now we know the spots that we would like to come back to and spend some more time.  We've done the leg work, now for the next trip we just need someone to join us in the fun!

I had a lot of catching up to do with your blog. We have been gone on a little trip too but your's sounds more fun. Please don't stop now that you are in CA we want to hear about your summer!

Yosemite is on my list now of places I have to visit. I don't think I would have chosen one less day camping for a day in Vegas, not me.

I bet it was a good feeling for Jeff to see flatland for sale in a store.

Keep it coming!
