Yesterday I was invited to drive up to Camarillo to check out a business I'm interested in getting into. My aunt had mentioned there would be a chance for me to see what it's all about and I decided I wanted to really get as much information about it. Robert and I were going to go but since Amber couldn't be left alone, I decided to take Alyssa. We left O.C. about 3pm and thankfully the rain stopped when we left. We headed out the 91 and cut across the 110 to the 101. We enjoyed the view of Downtown LA with the sun peeking through the clouds and shining on the tall glass buildings. We got stuck in some traffic near the Staple Center and again when we got on the 101 in the Northridge/Van Nuys area.
As we continued to drive north, we could see less and less congestion and more open space. It was about 4:15pm and the sun was hiding behind the clouds but the colors of the sky were like orange, purple and reds. It was absolutley beautiful. As we drove through the hills and crossed into Camarillo, the lights of the city were just coming on and the air was a cool 55 degrees. It felt like we were so far from home and yet not so far.
We left Camarillo about 7:30pm and as we drove home, we listened to the music as loud as we wanted, we talked and laughed. We stopped for Starbucks in Van Nuys and enjoyed the 49 degree temperature. It really felt like the holidays were near. We sipped our Starbucks and enjoyed the last little bit of being away from home and wondered why we don't take more road trips. This is definatley something I plan to do more of. Fun trip just mom and daughter!
