ROAD TRIP: California to Texas and Back Again

Jenny is in Commerce, TX going to school. Dave helped her drive out there, with all of her stuff, last August, and it was my turn to help her drive back to California. Carolina got to go along. This is our story.

Carolina: I have to ride ~HERE~?


She much prefers riding with the computer...but I wouldn't let her ride there IN the plane.

Not ~THIS~ pile! It's going to the storage shed!


This is the pile that's going with us...except it kept growing.



In the car, on top of all the stuff:

GIANT footprint!



This is a life-sized leg of a dinosaur, but we don't remember what kind. Whatever it is, it's HUGE!
