What I Did on My Summer Vacation
We're back from a week's vacation with my parents, my niece Brooke, and my nephew Jacob at the Salt Creek Resort on Lake Shasta. The resort is an old-time lodge, cabins, and campground that my dad is helping to restore. Originally, we were planning to water-ski most of the week, but my brother Dave, who was planning to bring the ski boat, couldn't make it at the last minute. So, we ended up hanging out by the pool, doing a bit of riding on my folks' Sea-Doo, and mostly just taking it easy.
On the drive home we quickly discovered that the air conditioning in our Yukon had failed, and with the outside temperature around 104 degrees, we decided to stop and get that fixed. That turned into an overnight odyssey in Redding, getting not only the air fixed, but also a front differential that was on its last legs. The service crew at Taylor Motors in Redding were very helpful and professional, and they even helped us get to a nearby hotel where we got a room for the night.
Everything turned out well, and the kids thought it was quite an adventure. Still, it's good to be home, where we can rest up from vacation...
