No trip through California is complete without a stop in Marysville/Loma Rica. Nancy was born and raised here and her parents and 2 brothers still live in the area. We enjoyed our 2 day visit although the weather didn’t cooperate – it was rainy and cold. Not quite what we were in search of. While here I swapped the windows from one side to the other in the back bedroom of the motorhome. In preparation for this trip, my father in law and I built a set of six bunk beds in the back bedroom of the motorhome – one bed for each kid. Great idea right? Shortly before we left it occurred to me that the emergency exit window, which is next to one of the beds and is very easy to open for obvious reasons, could inadvertently come open during travel. As the kids regularly play and/or sleep on their beds while we are underway, I had visions of one of the kids falling out of the window while motoring down the interstate - not good! Fortunately the opposing window was exactly the same size so I simply removed both windows and reinstalled them - problem solved!
The kids had a blast spending time with their cousins. We also enjoyed some quality family time with Nancy’s family. I was happy to drop off the pontoon boat that we towed down from Washington. It will definitely lighten our load and make for a little easy travel as we shrink from 60+ feet to about 34’. Gas mileage will improve as well. On our way through Redding we did manage a stop at the In N Out Burger. This is our family’s favorite burger place – easily better than 5 Guys – and the Redding location is the closest to Washington.
