Long Family road trip 2013: day 1

After endless packing and cleaning this morning, we left for Mt Shasta at just after 11. The kids were all plugged into their devices and we drove the 4 plus hours easily. We only stopped once and damn it was hot. 100 or so. But it got even hotter later. 

We arrived at the KOA mt Shasta around 3:30 and immediately went to the pool which was freezing. Which was odd considering how hot it was.

The kids did some bike riding, playground swinging, and arcade playing (where the kids "won" all manner of plastic crap...love the Koa) before we went back into town for dinner at a yummy Mexican joint. Michael had the largest beer I had ever seen.

After a quick stop at the local rite aid for breakfast cereal and necessary Swedish fish, we were back at the campground where the kids took off in all directions again on bikes. (Love the Koa!)

Now Michael is almost passed out in the cabin, kids are still riding all over and I'm enjoying the view from the couch.

Oh...speaking of views...mt Shasta ain't bad.  

We've already planning a return houseboat trip to Shasta lake in the next few years. Hoping the mar-mars join us.
