Wed. Aug. 10 – Day 1 – Half Moon Bay to Santa Monica
Posted on August 10th, 2011 3 commentsBob here – We made it to Santa Monica by 2:30 this afternoon and met up with sister Anne and her friends Andy and Priscilla. We hung out on the Santa Monica Pier for a while taking pictures of the car in front of “End of Route 66″ signs. Can’t post the pictures tonight because I forgot the camera to computer cable but Anne has one which we’ll pick up on the morning and be able to post today’s pictures tomorrow night. Till then…
Jerilyn here – it was special for me to see the Santa Monica Pier where I hung out as a teenager. And, oh those waves and that beautiful warm ocean, I could have stood there with my feet in the water forever. It was bliss to see the sun since it has been scarce in Half Moon Bay this summer. Bye for now.
The three travelers in front of the Route 66 Kiosk on the Santa Monica Pier Wednesday afternoon the 10th.
The end of The Mother Road and the beginning of the trip.
View from the Santa Monica Pier as we left. Were this 1951, that would be Jerilyn frolicing in the waves out there.

Love the shirt, Bob!!Jerilyn, I used to envy you and Chrissy for living near the Santa Monica Pier as teenagers!!!
SO glad you are on your way! -
Hey Bob and Jerilyn,
Great to see you hit the highway in the Rusty Buick. I had a fun time a few years back when we went to the Nationals. The view of the Buick in my rearview mirror was awesome. I’ll be checking back !Have fun, Dave
