Grand kids trip page 1



Gosh, a week has passed since my last blog. This was to be our grandkids vacation week but just before we were to leave on Sunday Dale was told that he would not get any vacation time as there is no other nurse to replace him. We’d already canceled Alaska when his job was iffy at best so flexibility became the key here.
We decided to just come to the Santa Barbara area, try a beach first then Cachuma Lake 2nd. Dale drove the Mazda as he had to go back to work for 3 days while I drove the truck with RV. As we started into Carpinteria State Beach the clutch on the Mazda started burning up and was dead as he coasted into the park. It is at a garage just outside the state park with a new clutch wiping out our vacation fund.

Carpinteria campground was full so after leaving the car off, baked about 450 cookies and drove on to Cachuma where we are camped near the lake. Well kids don’t care; they’d just as soon stay here.
