Summer Break Almost Over

We left Ukiah early arriving in Hopland before 8:30am. We had breakfast of the cinnamon roll purchased last night along with some sausage. Quick and easy on the road eating. We had planned on visition the Alternative Living Center just South of town but, unfortunately, they were having the Solfest there this weekend. While some day we'd like to attend this, we only planned a short visit to shop in their store and paying $25 each to get in  to do that didn't seem worth it for an hour.

We continued on to Santa Rosa to the Charles Schultz museum for a short visit. It's always good for a chuckle.

Back on the road again but now there was heavy slow traffic, all the way down to San Rafael. It opened up from there on after they cleared a stalled car from the right lane just as we approached. The amateur drivers really demonstrate there driving abilities on 19th avenue through San Francisco. The lanes are only 10 feet wide which means the 8 foot wide RV has to go down the middle of the lane to keep the mirrors on. Why is it that people driving a car only 6 feet wide can't find a way to keep it in one lane?

We stopped in Milbrea at the Tanforan shopping center for a walk. It was quite crowded due to a fan fest or something  filling the place with trading card and poster vendors. We then headed South a little to Burlingame to Neil's Coffee Shop for lunch. Lou and Dawn shared a liver and onions and I had a corned beef hash breakfast.

We then headed off toward home with a fuel stop just before. It was nice to see the $2.99 price for gas in Redwood City. A nice drop since we left. It hasn't been less than $3 for a long time here.

Home looks much the same as before we left.
