We stopped at about 10P at a motel just off the 5 (Lodi exit). I figured it was best to get on the other side of Sac. so we don't have any chance of traffic in the morning. Travelling went well. At about 4P, however, we learned that Cade has "it" now. He has a fever, no appetite, and the (now) characteristic lethargy accompanied by the inability to carry on a coversation. He also has a modified version of Josh's cough.
He seemed a little better as we got into the motel, but only the morning will truly tell. The hotel is perfect for this adventure-cheap, hyper clean, and did I mention-cheap. They also have internet. I won't say the name for fear that Marilyn will have some sort of seizure.
We are all jammed into a double bed, but there is a long window seat that I may move into if Heath doesn't stop making the bottom kazoo notes so prevelent for the last hour.
I figure 5-6 leisurely hours tomorrow, and I wil not be in a hurry to get off in the AM- shall we say an ETA of about 4PM, Heidi?

Awww... poor little Cade! Is Heath still feeling a lot better? Joshua is still home from school today. I was hoping he could get in for half a day this morning, but he just couldn't. We may try this afternoon if he feels like it. Let us know when you're safely arrived.
Yes, poor Cade! Hope he can sleep it off like you seemed to be able to do, Kyle. Heath will also benefit from the enforced rest of the car ride. Knowing him a bit now, I know he'll hit the ground RUNNING when he gets to "Jakies"! ;-)
I imagine HB will have a "quarantine" area ALL ready for Cade! & Hey, Kyle I am composed enough that you can share the name of the motel - who knows, we may have to use it ourselves one day!
Poor Joshua! I'm glad you are letting him take it slowly - It's best to not push an early return when it comes to real flu plus THIS variety one has an earned reputation of cycling back on you! With Josh's known "high pain tolerance" & great life attitude about life & living, his being down yet says a LOT, bless him!
Keep us posted, all! mc
Microtel-voted best budget hotel three years in a row. By whom, I do not know, but I will say I have stayed in at least two of them in the last two years and was always pleased.

Heath is fine, and Cade was fine until about 2PM, when he started to move more and more slowly. By 5 he said he was hungry, and by 5:30 he said he wasn't hungry but wanted to rest. He fell asleep in a matter of minutes in the middle of a very busy living room. Then he woke up at 12AM very excited to start his day. When I told it was still night time, he sulked back to bed muttering "I thought it was tomorrow."
Hummm- Yes, I have heard of Microtel - thought they were basically back east, however. mc
That extra sleep wouldn't have hurt Cade a bit, huh?! Sounds like Dad must be doing ok, too! SOO glad re ALL 3 of you! HOPE/PRAY Mom escaped it, however! mc
