Bodega Bay is very small. There isn't even a real fast food place, just one hot dog place that closes at 6PM. However, it's a little resort town right on this protected inlet of the ocean that's very peaceful. For you movie buffs, it happens to be where Hitchcock's "The Birds" was filmed. This morning we all slept in until 7:30. It felt like noon. So indulgent! Right now we are sitting in a Laundromat dressed only in rain gear because all of our other clothes are washing. Kristi is writing postcards, I am writing this, and Matt is looking for something to eat.
Kris and Matt were talking this morning about the next week being our last full week. Kristi said it made her sad that this ride was that close to ending (!). The transformation that I've seen happen to others so many times has come to Kris. I was able to experience one of those unique parental moments where your insides glow with a silent recognition of a child's precise moment of growth. It's a pleasure beyond any I know. We are about 60 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge, so we probably will be past San Francisco by Monday eve.
Have a nice Sunday. I sure will.
