Every day life away from the business
After our drive, the last thing Dave and I wanted to do was get back in the car so we’ve spent each afternoon walking along the beach. It’s walking distance from his parents’ house so we’ve taken advantage of that. The first day, we walked up and down the beach and Dave noticed there were…
Ah Day 5. The final day. By the time we were leaving Columbus, I was starting to get punchy from being in the car. I knew the destination was close, but by the time we hit Pennsylvania (which was very beautiful, by the way) I was ready to be out of the car. We got…
By Day Four, I gotta admit, the days are starting to blend together. We’ve realized that there are so many things that we would like to see but just don’t have the time in which to do it. We did try and make some time in St. Louis though, because it is home to the…
Wednesday morning found us cruising along I-40 through Amarillo, Texas and onto Oklahoma City en route to our final destination of St. Louis. We made a brief stop at the “Bug Farm” in Texas, which has a handful of VW bugs all spray-painted, nose-in-the-ground. We took some photos and hopped back on the road. I’ve…
I woke up in Williams, AZ feeling much better, and thank goodness for that because Dave and I were eager to see the Grand Canyon. At the onset of our voyage, we downloaded this handy app called “Best Roadtrip Ever” (how could we go wrong?!) and it shows us landmarks, sites, restaurants and the like,…
We landed in Williams, Arizona last night around 10:30pm, a good 750 miles under our belts. Come to find out, I’m horribly allergic to the desert. We stopped in Fresno at an In-N-Out for one last taste of California and I was all right. Tehatchapi was our next driving switch and we hopped out to…
Dave and I are leaving California in the morning after a great family-filled weekend. We celebrated Ted’s college graduation on Saturday night it was a good time to see everyone and say goodbye, then tonight Mom and Dad took all of us kids out to Rutherford Grill before we went back home for some more…
Dave has packed the kitchen completely, with the exception of the plates, flatware, food, one frying pan and a spatula. So this morning when we were kicking around the idea of more than just coffee for breakfast (refer to 2 weeks ago for a lovely story on how that turned out) we decided to use…
It would be easy to think this move is all fun and games and exciting and… it is. For the most part. But there has been a lot to do (and still do) in a very condensed period of time. The past two weekends have been spent moving furniture to storage, taking pictures for Craigslist…
