Driving to Davis from Klamath was a long haul. We woke up early and were on the road by 6:15am.
The only people awake and on the road were us and a pack of Elk! We caught them crossing the road to graze right in front of us!
It rained a lot as we made the trek through the mountains on Highway 299. The clouds hung low and it made for a mystical experience. We got stopped for almost 30 minutes on the highway because they were doing major construction and could only have one lane of traffic pass through. It was pretty tedious, but we made it.
We pulled into Davis in the late afternoon and headed straight to the flower shop to get some arrangements for Ed’s grandparents. Visiting the cemetery was the main reason for our stop. We had a really great visit – Ed told lots of stories about his Halmoni and “Sacramento Harabuji & Halmoni”. It meant a lot that Ruby seemed to understand the visit this time. (Our last visit was when she was 2)
It’s been a wonderful trip and our little family has made so many memories! We had a blast, but are looking forward to getting home tomorrow. We have one more fun kitschy stop tomorrow morning, and we hope to be back in Lakewood by tomorrow evening.
