Road trip weekend with the Platona

The family is heading up to Sonoma for a long weekend. We are celebrating my nephew's graduation from college.

The Platona was the watch of choice.

Six hours of driving with two little ones means lots of snacks, games, and of course, pit stops.

Here's stop one (not quite the same as a Dr. Tom pit stop with his Platona!)

Looks great Steve, those In-N-Out burgers look good too, lots of talk here on them. I'd ask you to send me one but did the same once with a Japanese Moss Burger and it didn't survive the trip.

Better if you go to the burger than the other way around. Come to CA, we'll grab In-N-Out and beers!

When I go bankrupt, this burger trip will be the first thing cited.

Oh man, this pic is killing me. I miss the In-n-Out burgers since I moved. Used to be my midnight stop on the way home from hospital call.

Every good road trip begins with a fast food burger

Safe travels.
