el camino

What do you get when you take four suitcases, three generations, two boxes of traveling toys, and stuff it all into one red car?  You get a raucous road trip, that's what!  My mother, the kidlet, and I are off on a big adventure, heading for points south and west.  Yep, we're going to la playa, baby.  Looks like we'll catch the tail end of a kite festival and a biker convention, among other things. I expect to get some sand in my toes, sun on my face, and a big rat's nest in my wind-tangled hair.  My jaunt through Oregon wine country on the way home might prove fruitful as well.  I hope the kidlet is ready to watch his mom geek-out over the Lewis and Clark goodies along the way--even better if I can convince him to join in.  Have a fabulous week, y'all, and there will more than likely be an update or two from the road.

You know, J, when you wrote 'la playa', I thought you meant Burning Man as the desert spot it takes place is often referrred to as the playa.

Whew! Burning Man with your Mom?! I'm relieved that's not happening.

Have a lovely, lovely vacation.

Ha!! My knowledge of Burning Man is purely third or fourth hand. Even so, I'm quite sure that my mother would NOT approve.
