We're at the pet-friendly La Quinta Inn in Stockton. Ross is out rustling up some people food. We fed the dogs already.
(By the way, La Quinta has free wi-fi Internet access . . . so they're definitely on my recommended list.)
Ross drove the whole way. That's probably not a great idea. But maybe he was a long-haul trucker in another life. We left at 6:30 a.m. and arrived here shortly after 8 p.m. I think all the days on the road except the last will be about this long.
We had to eat lunch in the car, because -- although Wendy's had a picnic table -- the weather was lousy. The dogs pretty much left us alone, once we laid down the law . . . but we were a good example of wolfing down food at that point.
The dogs were amazingly good. I think they liked their little cave in the back seat, once they settled in.
We experienced a dust storm and rain (with a little sleet) at one gas stop along the way. It looks like we've found much better weather now.
I think we'll all sleep well tonight.

Cj, So amazed to hear from you so early this a.m.
Love LaQuinta, btw. Janet and I ever seek them out in our travel meanderings. Janet & Jim have two lovely dogs as well--Quincy & Oscar; dachshunds. So, it's LaQuinta, where ever, and when ever possible. Hope y'all get up early enough to take advantage of the amazing, yet free, LaQuinta breakfast fare. Really good, if you like bagles or waffles or cereal or fruit or toast or milk or juice... Well, you get the idea :) Y'all are intrepid, and I can't wait for the next episode.
Luv ya, Lainie
