After we left Owl Canyon on "Sat"urday (calling it that because we sat for many hours yesterday in the rig), we headed west towards Salinas, CA. The drive was full of beautiful scenery. I never tire of watching the landscape roll by...
So funny. We were driving and listening to random songs on Spotify... Brady Bunch, Phil Collins, Jamiroquai, then Elmo (had fun torturing Alex with a trip down memory lane), and I put on some of Sierra's favorite music. At one point, Steve turned to me to say he liked the current selection & asked me, "That's Britney Spears, right?" Um, not quite honey. "You are listening to My Little Pony." This was his next reaction when I began to chuckle.
Love the wildflowers
Welcome to the land of grapes & growing things!
Oh no! We spotted our first clouds indicating that the constant blue sky is no more!
Saw a huge piece of land where oil is pumped
And drove for hours along Highway 101... farming central!
(Note to self: clean the windshield!)
The picture below reminds me of a road on Maui.
Lettuce anyone?
This sign of the man holding his "lettuce" is HUGE!
After many many many hours on the road, we reached Steve's cousin's house in Salinas. This part of California, just east of Monterey, is gorgeous. Sweeping valley views and oh so green! The road up to Dave's house is narrow and twisty. It was an adventure to get up here!
I think Steve will seriously
have to make a fifty point turn to get out of here
The kids love meeting family, and enjoyed a fun game of pool (their version of course!)
Part of the Fronckowiak clan
Another gorgeous campsite... in Dave's driveway!
What fun to meet family for the first time! ♡
