Speaking of traveling, I am heading out on a road trip August 14th to see my sisters in Washington State.  On the way, I plan on stopping in Sacramento and riding my bike along the American River.  On the way back, I plan on stopping in on my sister-in-law and her family for a couple of nights, and then slowly head south along the ocean looking for nude beaches.  Should be a great trip.  I'm looking forward to seeing the "kin folk" as well.
