Needless to say, we certainly needed to recover emotionally and physically. So, Patty and I decided to take another day in Simi Valley Extended Stay Hotel and get massages and pedicures for both of us. It was hugely refreshing and allowed us to gather strength and prepare for travel the next day. We went to Massage Envy for the massages and a nail spa place in the same shopping center. The rest of the time we napped quite a bit. :) Early the next day, we left for Barstow by way of CA RT 126 which runs east/west from Ventura to Santa Clarita.
