I’m still in road trip mode. We got back on Sunday night but I feel like my life is still in a suitcase that is sitting in my car. I was trying to think of a post for the blog but I think my Thinking Cap is in that suitcase in the car! I’ve sort of been posting lists on Tuesdays so I thought maybe you would like to see a “list” of pictures from the trip. At least I hope so.
This was when we went out to the boardwalk over the sand dunes and to the ocean in Guadalupe. He had to go ahead of Nana!
This little critter caught Anderson’s eye and kept him on the lookout for more critters.
I told him that animals might want to pop their heads in to check him out as we drove through Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon. He didn’t believe me until this happened. And yes, the window was open!
When we went to the pizza night for the reunion, he didn’t want to sit at the group table so he sat behind me in a booth and spread out his Legos. He played with them throughout the evening, having conversations with them.
One of the hikes we took was around the lake at Howarth Park in Santa Rosa. He saw squirrels and lizards and lots of ducks and geese.
A monument to the life on Cannery Row which was portrayed in John Steinbeck’s novel by the same name.
View of Memorial Auditorium and the Silicon Valley beyond. Taken from Stanford’s Hoover Tower.
Looks like a fun trip for you and for your grandson. 🙂

We made a trip book, too. I used a kids’ blank book with 18 pages. We wrote what we did each day and picked pictures. We would send the pictures for prints at the Walgreen’s we would be near and pick them up and complete the pages for the day. It was fun and he has a physical collection of memories.

That is such a great idea! I may use that on my venture next week! Getting so many anxiety attacks that I’m shutting down. Not good. But I’m going!

I’m glad you’re going! Do the trip journal thing, with pictures. It will encourage you to look around and not “bury your head in the sand”. The book I used I got at Target. I found it in their Dollar Spot section. There were five in the pack for $3. They’re paperback. They also had a pack with only two books but those were hardback and had something like 24 pages, smaller pages. Or just use any old composition book. But do it. When you come back from the trip it might surprise you to see what you saw!

I’m going for sure. Was in a mood today thinking about pictures and such and wondered why? Who is going to see them. Table for one at my pity party. 😌

Deb, we will all see the pictures because you are going to pick a few and write a post about the trip and include the pictures! So we will all see them. Better take some!
