So for the last five weeks or so we have been here in Middle California, camped mostly in daughter Rebecca's driveway (quiet, good hook-ups) but with several trips elsewhere. We got the Roadtrek all fixed up, and, scarcely more than a week on the market, sold it to a nice couple from Santa Cruz. We really hated to see it go--but are relieved to be down to a more reasonable number of campers. Much of our time has been spent with Princess P, watching her while Mommy graded, and then while Mommy and Daddy enjoyed a respite in the Sandwich Islands (Rebecca's spring break), and then camping at Pinnacles National Park (P's spring break)(next post). We'll be here in Rebecca's driveway through Shakespeare's birthday (also P's) but then will head out for a couple weeks' travel hereabouts before venturing back to Florida and then Europe for the summer.

For a couple weeks, Rebecca's front yard looked like this... fortunately, she has nice and tolerant neighbors |
|
Our stay included my birthday |
|
And Vicki's (after her visit to Chicago to see young Wesley, parents and grandparents) |
|
Our visit also included Easter, and the making, under Mama's supervision, of Easter eggs |
|
Thus |

Easter morning |
|
Enjoying a chocolate ice cream bar at Oakland's Childrens' Fairyland |
|
She did all the rides, most more than once, took in the puppet show, and insisted on seeing the magic show twice; but the old favorite is still her favorite |
|
Building a replica of one of Aunt Rachel's towers (Grandpa also did another family photo digitization project) |
|
You know you're in Middle California when the bill-board advertising is about crowd-funding |
|
And a driver-less Googlemobile pulls up next to you at a San Antonio Road intersection |
