2800 miles later…

So, it probably wasn't made clear to all yet, but after 5 days of this:

Ohio:

Side note: If  you’ve ever questioned the phrase “killing frost,” try forgetting to bring your healthy houseplants into the hotel room from your car when it’s –5 degrees Fahrenheit overnight.

[Yeah, I know I skipped some states along the way, like Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois,  Arizona, and Nevada but I was driving for most of those and didn’t take pictures.]

We arrived here:

Soon after arriving, I got to watch the moving truck give birth to my car.

Here’s sunrise from our back yard:

Molly has been finding all the comfy places to lay down OTHER than on the grass:

Hopefully our neighbors aren’t creeped out by me trying to take pictures of the sun set across their backyard.

I found some sidewalks to run on:

Slightly different scenery than NJ:

Ok, there were still horses in New Jersey.

And a running/bike path:

Time to figure out how to navigate the California DMV so I can transfer my license and registration…

  1. I can't believe Molly Waffles could handle that much car travel. Then again, after about an hour in the car, Bungee just passes out.

  2. Rugby won't sleep or relax in the car. He just PANTS and DROOLS. Poor guy went from DC to Chicago (twice) and hated it. He's also done Chicago to central PA several times which is also unfun.

  6. I would have to had Peanut get shipped separately because there is no way I would have killed her by Ohio. :)
