Carolina’s Notes
I got up and got ready to get to my nephew’s hockey game and to venture onward down the coast. Tony did all the hooking up. All I had to do was to get ready. I spent more time than planned to get ready. Tony was reassuring that all would work out. We hit more pumpkin festival type traffic, which put us farther behind our time. Once close enough to the ice rink, we got lost. Again, things became intense but Tony got me to the rink so I could watch my nephew play hockey. I watched his team defeat their opponents and I enjoyed seeing raw hockey. NHL is sometimes tough to watch because of all the penalties. I had a chance just to watch the boys play…it was a great thrill! After the game, my brother wanted to grab burgers from a famous burger joint. Val’s restaurant was voted best burgers in the West and I agree. We have to write our pals back at Little Tony’s and tell them we found a great hamburger in the West. I was glad my brother suggested coming.
It was getting late and we all had to get going. My brother offered for us to come to his house and stay and park Harry on the street but we declined. We didn’t want to cause any issue for him and his home association. My brother suggested stopping in Paso Robles, CA. He said it is another must see. We thanked him for everything and got on our way. It was 4:30 p.m. It is later than we normally head out but Tony was wanted to get heading south. I would have preferred heading out tomorrow morning. Anyway, we drove about two hundred miles, which was longer than I wanted. We drove all the way to Paso Robles and bunked at the Walmart. We made ourselves comfortable. We didn’t want dinner because of our big meal at Val’s. We did want to munch so we nibbled on chips and salsa and washed it down with some Corona. We watched the movie Hitch on my laptop then crawled into bed. All in all everything worked out nicely despite the hiccups.
Tony’s Notes
We got a late start getting out of Half Moon Bay. Once in downtown Oakland, we found the Oakland Ice Center, and I drove around looking for a place to safely park a motorhome with a car in tow. I found a place and took up four parking meters. There was a homeless guy doing a little panhandling, so I gave him two dollars in quarters to feed the meters, and handed him five bucks to keep an eye on my vehicles while I was inside watching the last thirty minutes of Kyle’s hockey game.
We followed Ed after the game to Val’s restaurant, and we ate half pound cheeseburgers, with French fries and a chocolate shake. Nothing but health food for us. I was full the rest of the day.
Once we said our goodbyes, we drove through the metropolitan area and on down US101. It got dark, and it was pitch black outside. Ed had said we should stop at Paso Robles, so when I saw the exit, we pulled off the highway and drove around until we found the Wal-Mart. We asked their permission to sleep in the parking lot. We picked up a six pack and relaxed
