San Leandro, Ca Trailer Haven 46 degrees and partly sunny.


Viking RV Park Kingsburg, CA
We had nice driving weather with medimum to heavy traffic most of the way. Buster handled the traffic well. One hundred eighty one miles Sam Leandro to Kingsburg, California. Here in Kingsburg it clouded over more but the temperature got up to 64 degrees today. This is a convent stop for us as it is a bout three and a half hour travel time. It is close to the highway and there are freight trains at all hours they do not wake us from sleep.

San Leandro, Ca Trailer Haven 46 degrees and partly sunny to mostly cloudy and rain.

Kind of a rest day and preparing Buster to travel tomorrow. I re strung a day/night shade as one of the strings broke.

Tonight we went to Avery's Aurora School to see Avery in a play "Rhythm in the Rainforest". Avery played a Boa Constrictor with some lines to recite and many group songs were sung.

Center, Avery the Boa Constrictor
Thank you to Carole, Jackie and Avery for a great two weeks here in Oakland.

Oakland, CA 50 degrees and cloudy. Cleared to partly cloudy 62 degrees.

My last day taking Avery to Aurora school Carole will be home today.

We did move everything and Merry too back to Buster and had dinner with them tonight. We did not linger as Avery wanted some time with his parents before going to bed. He does get up early so his candle burns out early in the evening.

I have been slow with the camera I will try and get more pictures.

Oakland, CA 49 degrees and foggy rain. Cleared to partly cloudy 61 degrees.


Another work day for Avery (school) and today starts with an assembly program that parents are able to attend. Bonnie and George took Avery to school today to see the assembly program enjoying Avery interacting with his classmates. I took pictures but they were blurry, there is a dial on the camera that was out of position for these pictures causing blurry pictures and I deleted them shucks.

Bonnie and I split our day as George went to Buster and Bonnie stayed at Carole's house we were working indepently today.

I picked up Avery at school and every time the dogs go for a ride in the car to school.

Oakland, CA 49 degrees and partly sunny to 55 degrees and partly sunny with some sprinkles of rain in the late afternoon.

A back to school day for Avery after taking him to Aurora School George and Bonnie went to Buster to recover from the weekend. A seven year old boy is constant motion energy. We are also experiencing withdrawal because we are not staying at Buster. We only bring with us to Carole's house what we need for the next day. Moving in and out is wearing on us, remembering what to take in each direction as we are going to Buster or coming to Carole's house.
 
Buster will start traveling on Friday headed south and east to The Ranch in Lakewood, NM.

Avery in front of Buster
We took Avery to the USS Hornet CV 12 history museum here in Alameda, CA today touring the WW II aircraft carrier. On the way there we stopped at Buster to get some things for Sunday.

Bonnie and Avery walking to USS Hornet
The USS Hornet was the aircraft carrier to take the Jimmy Doolittle B-25's to Japan for the air raid in 1942. The airplanes were loaded onto the aircraft carrier USS Hornet here in Alameda, CA and was the first action in WW II for this carrier. There were actually two carriers named Hornet CV 8 and CV 12. CV 8 was sunk at the Battle of Santa Cruz in October 1942 and CV 12 was named Hornet to honor the crew of CV 8

F-14 Tomcat
These jet aircraft were too big and heavy to fly from this aircraft carrier, F-4 and F-14.
