The morning we left Dave's house, we knew getting out of his driveway could be interesting. Steve had to do many turns to point the rig in the opposite direction to get back down the road. Sierra was in tears, scared that Steve would go over the edge and roll down the hillside. The kids and I watched from his cousin's stairs while Steve maneuvered.
Look at this view!
The dogs were happy to chill on the porch for a while
We think the guys are 2nd cousins?
Thank goodness Steve could back up the rig's end over the hillside as he did multi point turns. I kept imagining a helicopter picking us up and just swinging us around to face the other way.
After many reverses and forwards, Steve did it!
Then we were off and headed north.
We decided that it would be fun to drive over the Golden Gate Bridge with the kids, so we took a longer route up north to Katja's house on Sunday. We listened to the phone directing us along and next thing we knew, we were driving through part of the city of San Francisco versus the freeway. That was not part of the plan. Somehow the GPS took us a different route. We were the only RV in traffic, but it all ended up being perfect. The kids fell asleep for a while and then woke up right as we were approaching the bridge.
You too, can own one of these little condos for one to two million dollars! Crazy!
We passed through our first tunnel in the rig.
And then saw the Golden Gate Bridge! A bonus was that it was a clear blue day. Other times when I've driven over it, it has been totally covered in fog. Today, I could see the city and Alcatraz.
Steve was happy to be crossing the bridge for the first time in a vehicle versus on a Naval ship!
And, we had to take this picture of course!
The drive into Marin County is always so lovely
Before we headed into Sonoma, we pulled over to feed the dogs dinner and to all do our business. Steve was funny and said he wouldn't leave until we took his picture in this random gazebo.
Welcome to wine country!
