Canada Trip Day 2!!

Day 2 started off with a marine layer.  A nice ride for all the ladies to breakfast!

 

 We ate at a very chic breakfast spot.

 Chris had developed a toothache - so we stopped at a pharmacy and got him some antibiotics.

 The drive up the coast was so beautiful - even with the marine layer.

 And later - the sun popped out!

 We stopped at a shop, and Troy was having a small problem with his car - they fixed it in no time

 We saw bridges every day of this trip - and they were all cool!

 Clouds were back - but it was a nice photo opportunity of all the cars on our trip.  All 33-34's except for our 37 phaeton.  We should have driven our 34 roadster....  it's black too!

 Another nice photo op spot

 We were driving along the Oregon dunes at this point.  Miles and miles of sand dunes along the ocean.  It was very neat to see - something you don't see too often.

 We stopped in a cute harbor for lunch and to visit the kite shop

 More of the dunes

 Our destination that day was Florence, OR

 We stopped at a local bar and had some drinks. Donna was very talented at taking group selfies!

 And the shenanigans between the guys kept coming...  a nice prophylactic on a milk bottle.  We all laughed so much - these guys are crazy!  It wasn't going to be the last time this lovely condom came out...  or the last time we would laugh.  In fact, I can't remember the last time I have laughed so much.  It was pretty much all day every day for 2 weeks.  That is Good Therapy!!

 After the bar - it was time for some ice cream!  And salt water taffy...  I just finished my gigantic bag yesterday.

 

And we took some beautiful views of the harbor.  This one was taken by my friend Julie.  She used a camera - and the water reflections were so much more intense than the photos I took with a phone.

 Hotel for the night!!  This was shaping up to be the best trip ever!!  We haven't spent much time with our Reno friends lately - just short weekends (and mostly just the guys getting together).  This was such a great opportunity for more bonding and laughs!

What we missed Day 1...

Our friends headed to Ft Bragg from Reno -and had a nice lovely day along the coast.

My friend Julie took these photos - so we could see what we missed...

 

Nice pic of their Cabriolet!

 They found a redwood they could drive through!!!

 More beautiful coast pictures - and a lovely sunny day.

They also visited a quaint town, Ferndale.  Chris and I will have to go back & visit it another time :)

Canada Trip Day 1!

Day 1 of our Canada trip started off as usual - cancelled flight, sigh.  We are used to it by now, so we just make the best of it!  The only bummer is the airline we were flying had only one flight to Reno, NV a day.  So we had an entire day to kill..

A friend had given us a ride to the airport, so we decided to spend the night in Boston.

A good dinner!

 

 a nice walk down one of our favorite streets...

 a visit to my old part time job - Crate & Barrel (love it!!)

 We just enjoyed our day - gallivanting around our old home town

 We did make it to Reno that next day - whew!  Our friends had already taken off on our trip, so we had a long way to go (and a short time to get there...)   Funny, as soon as we got on the highway, we hooked up with another group of hot rodders and drove with them for a while.

 Even though we had to stay inland and miss the coast, we still had some great views

 Mt Shasta - for miles and miles!

 California is not pretty in the summer - brown brown brown.  If you haven't been - visit CA in the spring - it is so much prettier!

 CA is also very very long!!  This was the last exit on Hwy 5!  Wowzer!

 Since we were traveling a different route on the first day, we decided to take another detour and visit a friend we haven't seen in 11 years! We had a really nice lunch with him and his wife.  He drives his yellow roadster everywhere!

 Then we took off through the redwoods - cool and beautiful

 They were BIG!!

 After the redwoods, we made it to the coast and found our friends that we were driving to Canada with!!!!

 We all drove to the hotel together

 and had a lovely dinner

 Some shenanigans later in the evening - like messing with Ray's headlights....  that was minor compared to the rest of the trip.  No wonder these guys are called the Peckerheads!!!
