It’s suddenly hard to believe but we, in fact, have relocated to San Francisco, CA. Does that make us Californians?
The last day of driving was bitter-sweet. Ali and I had WAY more fun driving cross-country than expected. Upon arrival we (almost) didn’t want it to end. Seeing the country certainly gave us a bit of perspective. Before this trip, the Coastal Plains, Great Plains, Prairies, Mississippi River, Rockies, Great Basin, and Sierra Nevada weren’t much more than a geography lesson. The pictures, videos, and memories will make a much more lasting impression. Our favorite driving states were West Virginia (best scenery) and Nebraska (best roadside attractions). Our favorite overnight was MD (duh) – beyond MD, it was Laramie, WY (best food, landscapes, and highway access).
By the time Friday rolled around, we were kinda feeling like this sign. This was another along one of the many 75-100 mile straight-aways that are deceptively long. …will we ever get to California? yes!
Our last roadside attraction was the giant Coke Cup in Sacramento, CA. You can click over to here
to see some of our relocation pics. You’ll notice that we were more likely to stop the car, get out, and pose for a picture while we were east of the Mississippi. By the time we crossed the Mississippi, we were almost assuredly practicing drive-by photography.

We were welcomed into our temporary housing with a friendly staff and an awesome view of the city (compliment of floor to ceiling bedroom windows). Here’s our view from the bedroom.
The only thing left to do is...watch the 1p EST football games at 10a PST! Now, if only I could find a place that plays the Pats (or Redskins) game.
