Empty Nest part 2

So the kid left.  We finally got it all packed last Saturday, the 20th and started driving to Berkeley. We had lunch at Harris Ranch and got to Berkeley.  Unloading all of his stuff while KR took Gracie for a walk.  There were the homeless being fed at People's Park.  Martinez complex being right in front of people park.  THEN he went, "I really don't want to go with you guys."

I KNEW IT.

I KNEW IT.

So I said ok, tell that to pops.  KR proceeded to tell him that we are not his taxi service and he had said he would go, and if he did not go, WITH A GOOD ATTITUDE he can find himself trucking his stuff home, as we were DONE driving him around.  So, we waited and Kurt text that he was sorry being a poop and will go.  We started driving to Point Reyes.

Coming over the Richmond Bridge, and trying to find a place to stay.  The Marin headland was full of poison oak, and we finally got a reservation at Tomales Bay Resort, which is on the West side of Tomales Bay.  We were going to have dinner at Salt Water but while waiting for them to open at 5, we decided to just get sandwiches at the Inverness Deli and Market across the street with a half dozen oysters.  The Bay was beautiful.  The resort was kind of quaint, a bunch of rooms and a small swimming pool, and at 200 a night, but it was on the water and Gracie swam a bit in the bay.  We ate the sandwiches and watched a bit of the closing ceremony.

The next day was also cloudy but we drove into Point Reyes Station and had lunch at the Station House Cafe, then it was on to the light house.  This being summer, the light house and surrounding was all in fog.  We walked down the 300+ steps and took a look, then it was back to civilization.  We stopped at Richmond Costco to buy groceries and it was back to the dorm.

No one was there, and we drove him to Alex' apartment, on Blake Street, 2212 , I think not too close to school.  We started driving home.  Had to stop at Buttonwillow to sleep in the back of the van before coming home about 3 AM.

Kind of weird being home with no one here.  Alan went down to Rancho Bernardo Tuesday afternoon after watching mom all morning, as there was no caregiver that day.
