We spent the day in Sacramento yesterday doing almost nothing...and it was wonderful. I slept in until 9 AM which I haven't done in, well, I don't even remember how long. Phill and I lazed around the majority of the day until Garrett got home in the afternoon. We watched some episodes of That 70s Show, Price is Right...aw, midday television! Then Garrett took us down to the air station to give us a tour of his offices and the hangar. It was really impressive to see it all. The plane that was in the hangar was the plane that he just returned from deployment in. It was so much bigger than I imagined. We walked around the outside and then got a tour of the inside as well. I've never been inside the cockpit of a plane before, so that was pretty cool. There are so many dials and gadgets in there. I don't know how anyone keeps all of it straight.
Then we went grocery shopping in search of some Pacific Salmon for dinner. In terms of good seafood, it's nice to be back on the west coast again. We BBQ-ed some delicious Coho salmon. We lucked out too because Garrett forgot frosting for the cake he made, so Phill and I both got to ride in his little convertible Jensen Healey to get frosting. It worked out for us pretty well! What a fun little car. The whole stay in Sacramento was such a nice refresher to the busy-ness we've had going on. We both feel refreshed and ready to press on.
This morning we're getting packed up and ready to head further north. We'll be arriving in Crater Lake this afternoon and camping there. I still can't believe we're almost to Seattle. What a trip...
