Life on the road

My stint with Google in California is finally complete, and I’m working my way back home. Of course, I’m not exactly doing it in the most direct manner possible–instead of flying back, we’re doing the Big Family Road Trip.

My wife’s sister lives in San Diego, so my wife and kids drove down last week to see her. They stopped for the night in Mountain View, and then we all drove down to San Diego together for the long weekend. We took the kids to the San Diego Wild Animal Park, and then I drove back to Mountain View for my last week. It’s a fun drive, all 470 miles worth, through LA’s rush hour. It took me 9:45 to get home.

Then, after a few days’ work, I took Friday off this week and drove down to San Diego for a couple days on the beach with everyone. We took the kids to see Capistrano, and then took off yesterday morning for home. We stopped in Sacramento last night; according to Google, we have around 760 miles to go.

    The kids are cute, the image is also very nice. I am sorry to hear that you’re done at Google. I do hope you had a blast while you were there!

    I really hate driving but those long 10-12 trips I enjoy. Looking forward to your next blog. :)

    I’m not actually done with Google–I’m just done commuting between California and Seattle :-).

    It is very nice that you and your family travel so much. I think it is important for both children and parents to spend more time together, especially when the children are still small. These are the things that last, not money or the time spent at your working place.

    Your done with google? Were you just consulting I thought you took a full time position with them? or did it just not work out?

    I should have phrased it better–I’m done working in California, and back in the Seattle area again. I’m still working for Google (as an employee).
