The drive to San Diego aka The time of my life!!!

For starters, WOW!! This is probably the most amazing thing I'll ever do by myself.  If not ever, than for a while, and if I do top it, well dang, my life is pretty sweet!  Starting in Tacoma (253 til I die) on Monday, Sept 22: I left a little later than planned because we got home pretty late from Whistler, BC (see other blogs) and only drove about 4 hours to Eugene, OR for the night. Big-ups to the Motel 6, its cheap and clean (basically).  So glad I stopped when I did becuase I would've missed an amazing drive if I had gone at night.  Driving south on the west coast is something to put on your to-do list.  If you are thinking about it, get in touch with me and we can party in San Diego and maybe go to Mexico.  The goal for the week is to be in all 3 North American countries! 

Anyhow, I digress...Let's see, oh, so I left Eugene in the morning on Tuesday and headed south. I was entering the mountains and it was so beautiful! Lots of trees.  I put on Versions (if you don't know that CD, look it up! It is a Thievery Corp compilation of some kind and it is great!) and proceeded to handle my business.  So there I was in Southern Oregon, just cruising in my brand new car, with great tunes, handling my business and I see a sign "California Border Agricultural Inspection: all cars must stop"  So I rolled down the windows, put my shades on my face and a sucker in my mouth and crossed the border.  Eh hem...CALI BABY YEAH!!!!  My official entry into my new home sweet home! (but 253 til I die)

Goal for the week: Be in all 3 North American countries!

Yay! You got it started! I didn't leave things out on purpose not enough room or time with Norah calling me to help her off the potty and Nolan sitting on my foot drooling while I'm trying to post.
