So if you’ve been following The Great Adventure, you know that chapter 1 was the sale of the house and the beginning of the search for where we were going to next. Chapter 2 kicked off with a false start, a job in Columbus Ohio that turned out to be all wrong. Fortunately we realized the mistake before moving there. So the search resumed, we continued to live with most of our belongings in storage, and much to the graciousness of my parents, had a roof over our heads and good food to eat. Now two and half months in we come to the end of chapter 2 and begin chapter 3 Sunday morning as we set out for a cross country drive from Centre Alabama to Seattle Washington.
It will be a six day drive, provided all goes according to plan. We will be making a couple of tourist stops along the way (Mt Rushmore, Devils Tower) and hope to also stop and see family one night too. As much as I would like to make it into a longer journey to see more people along the way, it’s just not feasible.
Dean will begin working for a company located in Redmond Washington on August 30 and school starts September 1 so we do have a deadline to meet.
Below is a map of our “planned” stops. Any suggestions for places to see, eat or stay (pet friendly please) are greatly appreciated. I will try to update our progress in the evenings. But you can always follow along on twitter too. http://www.twitter.com/me_b for updates. Let me know if we’ll be in your area – we’ll try to meet up.
Oh my goodness your whole world has just flipped upside down! What an amazing adventure for you.
I hope your adjustment to the PacNW wasn’t as difficult as my adjustment to New England. I do so prefer the south…
Thanks Mandy. I’ve always liked the area we are now living in, so the adjustment has been pretty easy. I definitely don’t miss the heat.
But I do miss my friends. If you’re ever in the area, stop by for a visit.
