Heading Home Early from California
We had structured our vacation to be heading north on Friday morning to go to Sacramento and then Auburn to meet Rick.
However, having done everything that was on Waverly's list to see and do and neither one of really wanting to do an amusement park or go down to San Diego (which would really make for a kick butt drive back to San Francisco), I bit the financial bullet and paid to change our flight to come home tomorrow evening.
It was going to be $300 (or more) to somebody if we had stayed two more nights somewhere. (In fact it would have been that plus two days worth of meals, which have been running in the $70-80 range.) Granted I would have spent it if the race - Western States 100 - was on and would have been glad to; however, with the change because of the weather conditions then and what is expected to come this weekend, I felt like it was best to come home.
I just hated giving Continental $300 more. (Yes, I didn't use my reward travel for this because it would have been at the 50,000-mile per ticket level.)
It'll give Waverly some time to spend with her Mom (since she'll be out of town for two weekends in July), me some time to get ready for going back out of town on Monday and a chance to do a couple of things close to home. (Meaning I might do Run The Woodlands 5K on Saturday.)
Today was pretty tame. She took an extended nap after we had breakfast at Marston's on Walnut (if you're ever in the area.) I had never made it there when I worked here because I always arranged to get up right before I needed to be in the office. We went to the Griffith Observatory this afternoon, drove by all of the studios in Burbank (NBC, Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon and ABC/Disney) and then came back to the hotel.
I'll probably run a little later this evening (as it is 10 p.m. Pacific right now).
Then we'll do a morning run to the Rose Bowl and back together, get showered, get something to eat and begin the drive north to SFO.
