San Jose Adventure
This weekend was the first time I have ever driven a car 9 straight hours (with only a couple of gas stops in between). My mom and I went to visit my brother in San Jose. We took a early morning flight with Southwest on Saturday and the plan was to drive his beater car back down to San Diego on Sunday afternoon. He purchased a new car and it was useless to have two cars up there. Anyhow, they didn't say it was going to be the hottest weekend of the year in San Jose! It turned out to be 107 degrees in San Jose on Saturday with no relief until 4am in the morning. No A/C at my brother's house where he rents his room either. We pretty much spent the day indoors at the shopping mall and dining out. It was chillaxing. Sunday rolls around and it was probably only 100 degrees. We leave around 4 since we were unable to turn on the A/C in the car for fear of it overheating (it has that problem). So imagine driving with sweat dripping down your back for 9 hours with 1.5 hours of bumper to bumper traffic. I was sweating so badly that my hands were wrinkled. No joke. Got back to San Diego safely at 12:30 a.m.
