Pete’s California vacation cut short

PETE DOESN’T FLY.

So we drove to find the SUN on the southern California beaches.

I’m the chauffeur. Dad’s the chef. Mom the gofer.

Pete most enjoys hotel living. And restaurant eating.

Sadly fears of a California superstorm made Pete decide we’d best head home to Parksville, B.C. a couple of weeks early.

made it to California …

Since departing Parksville it’s been either cloudy or rainy.

One highlight was driving Avenue of the Giants in the rain with almost no other gawkers. (It’s packed during summer.)

I’d forgotten how windy and undeveloped is coastal California Highway 1

We finally got some sun as we approached San Fran.
