Have you ever set up a surprise so epic you had to do something crazy like ride a motorcycle 2600 miles through 4 states to pull it off? That’s what the men of our family did to blow the mind of my daughter on her 11th birthday.
For reasons unimportant to this story, my wife and daughter were to be in the Los Angeles burb of LA Mirada instead of our Puget Sound home on my daughter’s big day. Not wanting to miss such an important tween event we schemed to ride down and show up at her party, hosted at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor in Buena Park.
Our route took us out of Washington to Klamath Falls OR, Reno NV, and into California via Auburn. We stopped in Sacramento where we rode a bit with my Cousin and his wife before heading the remainder of the distance to SoCal for the big reveal.
Here’s a video of the big moment. Yup,she was blown away! Below the video are some random images of our ride. While in the greater LA area, we enjoyed the birthday event, Magic Mountain and the Los Angeles zoo.
