So tomorrow morning we'll be leaving for Yosemite. Actually, we're staying at a motel in Oakhurst. I'm glad to be fleeing the really hot Chico weather. The high's have been above 100 degrees all week. Even David's usual happiness at warm and sunny weather has melted. We're going to delay our departure time by about an hour so that David can watch the Sweden soccer match. I feel a bit bad for David though. He didn't get to do anything of interest on Midsummer. It's such a big holiday back in Sweden and here there was nothing. I worked and when I came home David and I watched some TV. He left the house to buy some milk. I'm afraid that was the most excitement I provided him on his Midsummer's Eve. Hopefully this weekend in Yosemite will be nice. It's supposed to be a bit cooler there. Oakhurst isn't that much cooler than Chico, but Yosemite Valley is supposed to be much cooler. www.weather.com is your friend! If anyone is curious about the chico weather, put in 95926 into the top box. Check out the monthly forecast and see the observed high's and lows. You can even change it to 'metric' or C temperatures at the bottom if F doesn't make much sense to you.
I have a 5 hour drive tomorrow and I'm still wide awake. David is going to do his first bit of driving in the states. He says that turning right on red lights is BAD. I think his reactions are entertaining. I'm a bad person. He complains of his weight, I offer him icecream. American food combined with lots of energy destroying heat seems to make him complain at my bathroom scale. I should hide it again! Vacations are for eating and snacking and resting and enjoying! It's hard to even get up the energy to go for short walks in this heat! I try to spend as little time outside as possible. I drive pretty much everywhere except work right now. I bike there to get the trip over with as quickly as possible.
The next week is going to be busy. My Grandfather gets married on Monday morning. After the wedding we're going to drive back to Chico. Tuesday will be my last day of work. I can't remember if Peter arrives on Thursday or Friday. I'm thinking Thursday. If so then we'll be driving to my parents' place Wednesday morning/afternoon. That way it will be a bit of a shorter trip to the airport to pick up Peter. Thursday we'll drive back to Chico and get home hopefully before it's completely dark. This requires me to NOT get lost on the way home again. Friday Peter will be here. He might be a bit jet lagged. Thinking to spend the day planning where we're going and what we're doing and maybe in the evening hit the bars. After that I have NO idea what next. But traveling time will be soon!
I hope everyone in and out of Sweden had a nice midsummers! And I've changed my comments again so that anyone who does the word verification can comment in the blog, not just registered users. Have fun peoples!
