After saying goodbye to our work/family/friends last week, it was nice to finally get on the road. We took a few days to drive up from California a week ago and it was a relatively smooth drive. The first stop was in Sac town where we hung out with my sister and had dinner on the riverfront in old town. After an early departure on Monday, we drove for about eight hours until we made it to Lebanon where Carly's aunt resides. One of the cool anecdotes of the day had to do with a random gas stop off the beaten path. It was literally one gas station and a mom and pop restaurant next door. After filling up, we went over next door to get some ice cream. The person waiting on us asked Carly if she had eaten her lunch yet, to which she replied, “of course I did.” A local company called “Umpqua” made the ice cream they had on hand. I have never heard of them before, but let’s just say that it’s my new favorite*. On Tues, we left central OR and made it to our new house around 8:45am. Our vaults arrived around 10:30am and had some offloading help from a local moving company in the afternoon. All said in done, not a bad two days and no major** mishaps along the way.

*Peanut Butter Chocolate – Oh my!
**We had a few packing errors, and well, some of our bags shifted while they were in flight.
