Last few road stops + Tustin's THH & Cream Pan + Spring Break Road Trip 2017 post round up

I drove my leg of the trip...

and we stopped at Kettleman City,

where we used McD's as our pit stop...

as well as a refuge to rest for a few minutes while enjoying cold drinks. It was already getting pretty warm by that time. Iced coffee something for us and Icee for TC.

Our next stop was Gorman for gas. This time, on the other side of the freeway.

Somewhere in LA, Andre the Giant (OBEY) is watching you...

In the bathroom at THH in Tustin...

Please do.

Another pit stop plus more snacks.

Iced VN coffee, spring rolls, and an egg banh mi.



On our trips up, we normally go to Cream Pan first, then THH. We did it backwards this time.


More coffee plus chocolate chip bread rolls to take home, a melon pan for TC and almond croissant for Bert.

We were quite restrained. We've tried pretty much everything in their pastry case already.  That was it, nada mas.

Crossing the 805 over Mission Valley...

and finally the exit to our part of town...

It was good to be back home after a week on the road.
