A Long Night

It was a rough night. Laura has come down with an illness and had a terrible time sleeping. She's running a fever and has an upset stomach - she came down with it just as we were going to bed last night around 10:30. By 2:30 has was tossing and turning - waking me up so I spent most of the night talking to her and getting a few minutes of sleep where I could.

Today is the science fair for the public schools and Laura and I signed up to be judges a few weeks ago. I think we are going to try going and judging, but Laura will be coming home with me after the fair, no need for her to be at the school all day long feeling sick or to make others sick as well.

Other than last night our weekend went really good. Saturday we did some geocaching, we did a geocache designed to be done in the dark with flashlights. That was a lot of fun to be 30 miles from Missoula in the dark and actually see the stars - haven't seen those in awhile. Just before dark we did a cache which required us to walk across a bridge - one that looks like the bridges you see in the movies! Laura really liked it, and you can see from the photo she was jumping up and down and swinging the bridge from side to side. Just like an Indiana Jones movie!

I think I left off on day 4 of our trip. We will spend the day before in San Francisco and then we will be headed north across the Golden Gate Bridge and then on to Point Reyes (Rays) which is Spanish is king - Point of the Kings. We are going to continue north to Goat Rock State Beach where the final scene of The Goonies was filmed.

From there we will be on our way north on Highway 1 up the California coast to Fort Bragg, CA to stay the night. Day 4 won't be a very bad drive as far as mileage goes, less than 250 miles along the coast!

It looks like my day will be spent taking care of Laura and it is about time to scoot out the door to the science fair. For having such a long night, my morning is already going quite fast! Until again
