As we crossed into California, the wind picked up, and we were unable to keep the motorhome in our lane. We stopped at the nearest rest stop and played Scrabble while waiting out the storm. 70 mph gusts. It should have only been about a 5 hour drive from Erica's to Ratface's, but because of the crazy wind, we ended up spending the night at a Love's truck stop in Coachella.

The next morning we stopped by the dinosaurs, Dinny and Mr. Rex, in Cabazon, Ca, which has always been a favorite stop of mine. These are the dinosaurs that are seen at the end of "The Wizard" with Fred Savage and that other kid, and "Pee Wee's Big Adventure". You can go in the apatosaurus (what used to be a brontosaurus) and the t-rex sometimes based on the season. FYI, inside the dinos are a gift shop and creation museum.



We arrived safely at Grandma Ratface's house. We came here to spend Christmas with my family in California and will be here for the next few months. Tonight I'm taking Laura to see David Bazan for a late birthday present. She loves him almost as much as she loves me.
