Champagne Sunday
2016 All In Tour
Beginning our journey home at the top of week 5! Street cleaners come at 8. We’re out by a quarter ’til and at Starbucks by 8:30. (Would have been there sooner, but Rudy wanted to be carried and I wanted him to use his strong, healthy legs. Thus a Mexican stand-off took place for about...

Kim: beach. Jared: Daddy day w/Rudyard. Jessi: daughter time with her momma. The RV will be looked at tomorrow. Until then, “Back in 5”, “Gone Fishin'”, “Smoke Break”, “Out to lunch”, “Sorry, closed”, “Sod Off”… You choose. Xoxox

Trifecta Addendum: Part 4 Monday morning, J gets a call from the mechanic and he says, “Oh sorry. I don’t do transmission work.” Doesn’t even look at it. Just says “nope.” Would have been LOVELY to know this ANY of the 5 times they talked on the phone. Even worse, Jared’s transient cold had taken up...

Trifecta: Part 3 The morning sun hot in the sky shone down on the trio as we drove into Ojai for the second time. A little lighter and a little sad, Sandi had left us Saturday morning, and because we were pretty busy all day, we had little time to think about it too much....

Saturday: The Margarita Villa Pretty much considered the official birth place of Champagne Sunday, the Villa was where Jared and I worked, partied, laughed, cried, played shows, saw bands, got super wasted (Jared even jumped into the harbor naked one time and said the dolphins were speaking to him). Before we were together, I served his...

The Trifecta. The cherry on top. The light at the end of the tunnel. The pièce-de-résistance…if you will. For the first time since maybe the second day of our journey, there is a a predominantly worry-free atmosphere in the All-In tribe. We’ve got mom’s car that miraculously can hold all of our gear and 4 adults…...

Don’t do it if you ain’t gonna do it right. I’ve already been there . . . “ – Kim Archer (“Don’t Do It”) Ok. So, after much deliberation, Jared has decided that getting the RV looked at and the transmission fixed/replaced would be cheaper than any other alternative. The soonest someone can look at it is...

“All of these things will pass by, when I lay down and close my eyes. Tomorrow’s sun is gonna rise…” – Champagne Sunday (“What A Day”) Just an infinity pool overlooking a vineyard and some grazing cattle. That’s all. No biggie. Who lives like this?!?! Forget the hotels, we’re staying with Uncle Chris from now...
2016 All In Tour
Pulling into San Luis Obispo around 4pm, we found our venue (Frog And Peach), a parking spot, and a delicious place to eat (Cheeky Tiki). The sun shining hot and dry, the baby napped and we all stepped outside to stretch and breathe. Jared and I called our parents, got a little love via wireless,...

“There you are, Peter!” – Hook The line references a beautiful moment in the movie Hook, where one of the Lost Boys is touching Robin Williams’ face and searching for the boy he once knew. When he stretches his face into a smile, he exclaims “There you are, Peter!” Jared and I always cry. And,...
