On the Road Again...

We're back on the road again. We packed up and headed out of Pleasanton, and we're driving out to Valencia. We've got the road trip thing down. First we gas up, then we stop at Redbox.

Then we plug the kids in to their individual technological devices, and we hit the road.  Today we drive for about 5 hours until we hit Valencia.

Usually, there is some nice scenery, and they'll look up every now and then to see where we are.  We've passed vineyards, forests, and beaches throughout our trip.  Everything has been amazing.  Today, though, we are driving through flat grassy plains.  Not a lot to see around here, and not a lot of places to stop along the way either.

Around lunch time, we knew we needed to make a stop and grab a bite to eat.  We figured we'd pick Kettleman City, California, since it is the halfway point between San Francisco and Los Angeles.  Apparently, everyone else had the same idea.  There were about 10 fast food places in Kettleman City, and they were all PACKED with people, to the point that they were spilling out onto the walkways outside of the restaurants.  It was a little crazy to see.  We grabbed a quick bite, and we're now back on the road.
