California trip

What trip to California doesn't include Mt. Shasta?

Or Weed? The city of Weed. And your crazy mom now owns a magnet that says, "I love weed" but just so you know, it's only for fun.
The Lost Gatos Cats:
When Dad and I were kids, there was a rumor that beyond the gates and the white cats was an albino community that would do horrible things to people who went up the hill. Mom and her friends would drive up to the cats but never get out of the car while Dad and his friends would hop the fence and look for what lurked beyond but never found anything. Today, those cats don't seem so scary, do they? Notice I let Tanner and Kaylee check it out first, while I hung back to "take pictures".


So for fun we googled it. Were we the only ones? If you want, google, "Legend of albino Lost Gatos cats." You will find stories like: "The local legend had it that in the forest beyond the cats lived a troupe of albino cannibals." and ghost stories and stories of the cats (one with eyes open and one with eyes closed) changing places.

What really lies beyond those gates and up that road?

When you go to California, you have to go to Frys.
The bad part of our trip that was we never got to see Aunt Shish! She had to work and then we tried to get together but somehow never got to put it together. We were so sad to miss her. We've never had a California trip without her.

I remember those cats. You mean it was all just an urban legend? And all this time... By the way, we all know about your secret "weed" addiction. Just for fun...my foot.
