First week of the adventure [CA to OR]
I've been looking forward to my cross country trip for sometime now, but as it's getting closer i've been nailing down my definite plans. I guess i could just pull up to any cheap motel and spend the night and pull over when i see something entertaining on the highway, but i'm a bit of a planner (i am related to hilary after all), and figure it might save me a bit of money to book in advance.
So i've officially made my plans for the first week of the trip.
I will no longer be going to cinco de mayo in mexico :(. but will still start out in san diego. My hopes are to go to seaworld, the zoo, and/or the gaslamp district, but we'll see what the friends i have there can actually afford it-and which ones even decide to let me stay on their couch.
then i'll be heading up to la to meet with hanover friends and just party in hollywood/silverlake, or wherever the hits are. i've never hit up too many touristy spots in this city, though, so i hope to see the cat face drain covers and maybe the tar pits. If i end up staying more than a day, i wouldn't mind heading down to venice beach again or seeing the dodgers play!
after that i'm taking the pacific coast highway all the way up san francisco. i hear it's going to be an amazing view and a really fun road to drive. i haven't come across anything too funny for the way up yet, but that's alright.
once in san fran (though i'm not sure if chade still lives there or in san jose), this time i'd actually like to see monopoly park and fillmore street and maybe super gay pride things! Bigfoot should be a pretty good spot to stop and drink, and i hear there's a really fun sushi/saki bomb joint. I wouldn't mind seeing a Giants game either
I go to one of my favorite parts of the trip the next day-Napa Valley! I'll be staying in a nice Bed and Breakfast. But when i first get there, i'll be picked up by the winery shuttle to help me explore all the wonderful wineries in the area. Then i'm sure i'll be down for a delicious dinner in one of the surrounding restaurants. The next day before i'm off, i'll have to stop by the farmer's market
i was considering heading to sacramento to check that city out, but i've decided to just keep heading northeast so i can look at the all the amazing trees. On the way will be 2 very interesting breweries, North Coast (im really digging pranqster) and then Lost Coast (great white is good). Hopefully i can enjoy the trees after the beers! Most importantly, and hopefully still open, will be Hobbiton, USA. An area completely reinacting the Hobbit!!
It's a shame i'm not stopping by Lakehead, CA because this sounds absolutely amazing!
On the way to Mikey Mike's in Eugene, OR i was hoping to stop by the Oregon Vortex but it looks like it closes too early.
After that I head up to Portland to visit Morgan. Hopefully she's down to go to The Enchanted Forest! The rest of the time she better have some great tour fun all planned out!
