Goin' back to Cali

And thus begins our road trip to San Diego - in total style!


Along the way, Melanie wanted to see what those dark lumps were all over the ground, so they got out, and Chuck confirmed that - Yep, those are rocks.



As we were driving along, someone in the car who was old enough to know better (who definitely should have known that we were headed WEST from AZ to CA) looked out to the right (facing North), over the mountains and said, "Is that Mexico over there?" So we pointed to the left (facing South) and said, "That's Mexico, on the other side of that wall." That person wanted a picture to remember that he/she had officially looked at Mexico.


Somewhere between Yuma and.... whatever is beyond Yuma before San Diego (mostly nothing), we went through Snoozeville, where all road trip excitement wore off.

Heck yeah! Now THAT's what I call California Dreamin!

The rest of the rock story is- our jr. geologist, Melanie, was super fascinated to see lava rocks, and wanted to collect some samples to share with classmates.
