Searching for a Sunset

One of my many dreams in life is to move west to California. I've been in love with this place ever since the first time I set foot there in 1994. Yeah, I may have been 5 but this great place forever left an impression on me. And trust me, I've been impressed ever since. This blog starts with my family's great adventure out west to visit my brother Paul, his girlfriend Carrie and my uncle Joe, and will hopefully continue with my soul searching ventures towards moving there someday...soon :)

Text Almost there!

Drove 645.7 miles yesterday making a grand total of 2077.5 miles! Only have about 314 miles to go today. Our luck is out west. Must mean we were meant to be out here. Beautiful weather, awesome scenery & the first song we heard today was “the little old lady from Pasadena” :) I’m so excited to get to California!

Third day of driving & i camt even believe it. It doesn’t seem like it, these days are surprisingly going by fast. Yesterday we drove 658.1 miles making a grand total of 1430.5 miles we’ve gone so far! So here we go off to Arizona at 8:27am. Can’t wait to drive through the rest of New Mexico and Arizona, it’s beautiful out here!
