Day 3: San Simeon to Lake Tahoe, NV

Another gorgeous drive with a lunch stop at Pebble Beach at a restaurant recommended by a friend-I’m sure Dave was wishing he could hit some balls at this iconic golf club! Then they had dinner with brother, Troy, who lives out in Modesto (I don’t even know where they met) before driving to Lake Tahoe to sleep. Missing pics of Pebble but I’m sure there is GoPro video footage 

Lunch at “The Bench”

Dinner at Mimi’s with Troy

More gorgeous views on the drive to Tahoe

Day 2: Santa Monica to San Simeon, CA

Left Sam’s house in Santa Monica, stopped in Malibu for a little surfing, one of Nate’s requests. Had a beautiful drive up the coast with breathtaking views, and made it to Morro Bay just in time for a sunset dinner! 

Day 1: Vista to Santa Monica, CA

The adventure begins! 

Rented scooters in Santa Monica and looks like they had fun, although the only thing I could think to ask was “where are your helmets??”

After Santa Monica Pier they made their way to Sam and Celeste Liversidge’s house. Dave went to both high school and college with Sam who is now a high-powered lawyer in LA. Corey Knowlton and Randy passenger both drove in for the evening and they had dinner at the house. Dave and Nate shacked up at the “Guest House”…fine living! Dave took some video of the house which will have to show you another time, absolutely gorgeous! They were up until midnight telling stories and reminiscing about the good old days!

Sunday, June 20

This morning at 4:00 a.m., we left home for BWI where I dropped Dave and Nate off as they began their EPIC FATHER'S DAY grand adventure. They flew to San Diego where the Mustang was shipped and are picking it up to start their GREAT AMERICAN ROAD TRIP tomorrow. Although I'm MORE than a little bummed to be missing out on the fun, I am absolutely THRILLED for what they are about to experience. I'm going to try to post pics and commentary here as I receive things from Dave, though I don't know how complete it will be. He's actually focusing on primarily using the GoPro to use for a video compilation after the trip. Stay tuned! In the meantime, here is how we spent the 2 days before the trip, so glad Sabrina came home to see all the boys before they left.

Picked up Baja Fresh for dinner and met up at our sunset spot for dinner out the back of Claudeny’s pickup! 

Nate’s last day of school was Thursday, officially a high school senior! Can’t believe it. Too fast. 

Saturday, Sabrina and Claudeny wanted to take a float down Linganore Creek. We did this with the Monassé family when they first came to the U.S. in 2013 and it was a memorable experience for all of us!  As was this trip!

The dog was a basket case, (hopping and swimming between kayaks) until we figured out if he was leading his pack from the front and couldn’t see the rest of us, he stopped crying…

This big boy spent more time out of the kayak than in, thanks for low water levels and his girth which didn’t make his vessel very floaty lol 

The kids gave Dave these metal signs for the garage to commemorate their trip-just perfect!! Even the BAG!! 

Nate was out all day at a state track meet (he did not run) so that's why he's not in all the pictures until we met up later for ice cream before Sabrina headed back to the beach. 

Saturday night at “The Jimmie Cone”-Frederick’s finest providing us a cultural experience! 

BWI was HOPPIN’ at 4:45 this morning! Crazy busy!
