we had to stop in oildale because caleb was being a little crabby. so we parked at a minimart, got him out of his carseat, made him happy, and were on our way again.
after driving that crazy canyon road, and prolong our drive by about 30 mins because i missed the exit i was supposed to take, we made it to our destination. there's this deli in a minimart there named "primo's" and naturally i wanted to go there because, duh, that's my husband's name. :) but, after having been in the car for quite a while, i needed to use the restroom. this place didn't have one. but the nice man at the counter told us where there was a nice clean one, with a sink and everything. it was across the street and down a little ways in the laundromat. so we trekked over there, used the facilities, talked to a native kernvillian (not kern villian, but kernvillyen...) -- or should i say listened to one who talked our ears off -- then headed back to primo's.
primo said this place had the best pastrami sandwiches, so we bloth splurged and got one. primo also tried their potato salad (which was very yummy) and i tried their "tortellini" salad, which should have been called spiral noodle salad (rotini maybe?) because i had one, maybe two, tortellinis in my portion. hm.....but it was still good. :) and the pastrami was amazing. love it.
we went to a park and decided to eat in the car, then eat the ice cream we also splurged on down by the river (kind of like more like a creek where we were at). it was so beautiful outside. the weather was wonderful and felt great. i think caleb enjoyed being outside and out of his carseat too.
caleb did wonderful on the trip there and back, sleeping the whole way. i was wondering if we were going to find out if he gets carsick -- glad i didn't find out. :) it was a great trip, a wonderful day. i love being spontaneous with my boys!
