In June, we took the road trip of a lifetime from Ventura, California to our home near Scranton, Pennsylvania. To read about the beginning of our journey, see this post. Now, here's the rest of the story. Glacier National Park We left Seattle and drove east. Finally,...
In the course of my life, I don't think I've ever had a month quite like June 2018. After spending half a year living in Southern California, we sent most of our stuff home on a moving truck, packed up our Yukon with the essentials,...
Last week I flew to California to look for a house. Todd was already there for work. He’s going to be back and forth a bit until we make the big move. He met me at the airport and we drove up to the area...
