PROJECT KNOWLEDGE Day 68

Day 68: THE HOME STRETCH (San Francisco, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo)

We are headed home! On March 2, 2010 we departed Los Angeles with 6 people (well, 5 because we picked up Stephan in Arizona), 2 RVs, one dog, and a big dream. And on May 8, 2010 after an invaluable 2 month cross country research tour we began the journey home with 4 people (Robert & Leah had to leave us a little early), 2 RVs, one really really really really cute dog, and an even BIGGER dream!

We drove our motor homes over the Golden Gate bridge on our way out of the town. The sight was truly breathtaking!



We had an awesome lunch stop in Santa Cruz, California to visit Amy's dear friend Elizabeth and her husband Doug. Amy & Elizabeth were performance apprentices for 2 years over 11 years ago (WOW!) at The Barn Theatre in Augusta, Michigan. We had a great time talking performing arts with this theatre couple! Besides both being performers, Elizabeth now works with Marketing & Special Events for Opera San Jose and Doug is a drama teacher at Archbishop Mitty High School.



Elizabeth and Doug also got a kick out of Amy's exciting hand gestures when she talks about the exciting future for Transcendence Theatre and all of American Theatre. Oh yes, it is time for Transcendence!!!!



After the best lunch ever we hopped into our RVs to drive to San Luis Obispo. After driving over 10,000 miles, you should have heard us scream when we saw the first signs for Los Angeles!



After a great final dinner in the adorable downtown area of San Luis Obispo, we headed to our last RV park stop for Project Knowledge.



We pulled up to Pismo Sands RV park to find out that our final stop had been voted the best RV park of the year!!!! AMAZING!!!!



We had a photo shoot to capture the memories of our homes for the past 2 months. Here's some behind the scene photos of Project Knowledge. Randi's going to miss her "table by day and bed by night"! Stephan, Brad, and Amy will always have fond memories of sleeping in their cab-overs! And Junior is going to miss the RVs most of all. She loved sitting in the front seat and keeping watch out the window at all our campgrounds across America. What an adventure!









Brad made a our final fire and we took a moment under the stars to share our favorite memories and all that we are thankful for in our lives and on this journey! It was the perfect ending to a perfect project. We settled in for our last night of slumber in our Rvs because tomorrow morning it is... LA or BUST!
