In-Law Road Trip Day One

We began the final leg of the summer road trips in Santa Rosa CA (see previous blogs) at Grandma Elaine's house (my Mother-in-law) where we also visited with Grandpa Tim (my Father-in-law) and Grandma Jessica (my Step-Mother-in-law). We will conclude the road trip with a stop in Idaho at Eliza's in laws, as such this leg of the trip (and final stretch back to Missoula) is affectionately titled "The In-Law Road Trip". And here are scenes from day one (or there abouts).
Emmet and Grandpa Tim in the shrine room.
Our first stop, Truckee CA. Don't mock us for only making it here on day one, it was hard to get everything in the Bronco and all of us out the door. The car occupants included, Me, Mr. Emmet Pants, Eliza (friend and co-Emmet wrangler)and Nyala. I could barely fit Emmet, our field stuff, and I in the Bronco to get to Santa Rosa. Add to that one dog, one dog crate, dog supplies, one Eliza (she is tiny, took up no room at all), and Eliza's luggage. It was a squeeze!
We had dinner at the Truckee diner, it was all we hope it would be and more. Six thumbs up from the human occupants of the Bronco.
Can I get gravy on my mashed potatoes????
Pleeeeaaaseeeeee....
Oh Yeah!

I like the sign over your head that reads, "Caution: Low Head Room". Is Low the name of Max's cousin?

or perhaps.... Max's IN-LAW?

Also, I like the cashier in the background who looks like he might be stealing from the register right at that moment.

Nice photos!
