From Atlantic to Pacific, the Traffic is terrific
We just got back from our Thanksgiving travels. We started at the Livermore airport, whence we departed with Lisa's Dad for Tehachapi. We spent a very relaxing, enjoyable Thanksgiving with my in-laws in their just-finished home — after 13 years in the small cottage on their property, they were ready for more room.
On Saturday, we drove down to Orange County for my extended family's Christmas party that night. There must have been over 50 people at the party. No inverted family tree here, baby!
After a really nice stay with my cousin Joe, our family was treated to my birthday dinner on Sunday by Joe and my Aunt Betty and Uncle Floyd at the Outback Steakhouse in Laguna Hills. We are becoming quite fond of Outback. The main reason is that they have a gluten-free menu. Many of the items are also dairy-free (or can be made so). These GFCF choices are a real boon for Lisa and Sarah.
