We're in San Francisco today, which brings our mileage past 5,000 for the trip!

We had a nice, relaxing weekend in Palm Springs, then headed up the coast on Sunday. We stopped for a break in Santa Barbara before bunking for the night in San Luis Obispo.

Yesterday we chose to make the rest of the trek to the Bay area via route 1 instead of 101, hoping to enjoy the beautiful ocean scenery. We got to enjoy more of it than anticipated as Route 1 was under construction and reduced to one lane in a few spots. Then there was a rock slide blocking the road at one construction site, which put us at a complete standstill for an hour. We were out of cell service, but fortunately the satellite radio still worked. That delay made the rest of the ride seem more tedious as we were all tired of being in the car.

Today we were supposed to have a workshop in San Francisco, but it didn't get enough registrations, which surprised me as there had been quite a bit of interest. So San Francisco, you missed your chance this time!
