Now we can relax

September 4, 2009
CalExpo, Sacramento, CA

Today was an easy day.  We unloaded a few things from the Range Rover and headed for the body shop that the insurance company arranged.  They'll do some clean-up and break down today so the adjuster can deal with it on Tuesday, after the holiday.  The Enterprise guy showed up and we were off in a rental before we knew it.

Once we were able to breathe a sigh of relief that the Rover was settled (it's almost like one of the family, I suppose), we hit the ATM, the Safeway, and headed back home.  After walking the pups, we set out again. 

First, we stopped at a dog boarding/day care shop near the park to check them out.  When we're back here during the Caravan, we'll have a couple of days where day care or overnight boarding makes sense given our schedule.  We found the shop, Cha Cha's Doggie Daycare, to be something we can work with.  Basically, they've taken an older (i.e., small) residence and made it into a cage-free dog environment.  They even have a web cam so you can check up on your pets!

We then hit the local shopping area and stopped at Best Buy (needed batteries for the FRS radios and ended up with a new set for the price of two batteries) and the bookstore (Geri's tanked up on books for a week or so).  Back home, a beer and a pizza later and we're finally starting to relax. 

Tomorrow, we're heading for Truckee, near Lake Tahoe.  We'll check into the park where the caravan starts a few days early and have a chance to clean the coach, plan some meals, and chill.
