Oooo - that I5 drive. You know how everyone has childhood memories of never-ending road trips? That's mine. Santa Paula to Grass Valley - which meant I-5 from just south of the Grapevine all the way through Sacramento. We did this every summer, every Christmas, and a couple other times a year.

And I just made plans to go see a friend in San Diego in August, so more I5 for me! LOL.

Hmmmm J, Santa Paula? You don't hear that too much. Did we grow up together?

Yeah - it is a pretty small place. I don't run into people very often who have even heard of it. We lived there from 1981-1985 - elementary school years for me.

Santa Paula?? I have a family member by marriage that has lots of family members in Santa Paula.

I have always found I-5 soooo boring and personally I like 101 better. But I-5 is quicker.

Enjoy your time in California laura!

We lived there from 1981-1985 - elementary school years for me.

LOL! Nope already married by then. But prior to 79 I was there. Parents left in 2000. Several generations of family lived there but no one any more.

LoveItaly, if they've been there for awhile we'd probably know each other!!

Hi Suzie, I would imagine my inlaw's family and your family did know each other. It is a small world isn't it.

LOL Patrick. My DH of 23 years has his parents, and lots of relatives down in SoCal so we make the trip a lot. Makes me miss "my" San Jose when I go down there, LOL.
