The Trip

After leaving our jobs, giving our parents a few more gray hairs, and selling/storing all of our personal belongings, we are hopping into a 2002 Jeep Wrangler with 131,000 miles on it and hitting the road! Taking the southern route, we will be stopping & staying with friends/family along the way, final destination: Northwestern CO where we will stay & work for the winter season... From there, nobody knows!

North

After the devastating incident of having our belongings taken, we decided to treat ourselves to a fun night out, which included a new outfit because I didn't have anything left that was nice enough to go out in, and, of course, a new pair of shoes! Gotta look at the positives... :-)

So we got dressed (after a delicious sushi dinner!), and once we were looking fabulous, we headed out. Since we had no idea where to go in the area, we asked the girl at the front desk for some suggestions, and she directed us to her favorite local watering hole which was located conveniently about 5mins away! And to make the night even more enjoyable, it turns out Thursday night was karaoke night! Either the pastime is rapidly coming up in the world, or we are just really good at randomly finding karaoke bars... Either way, we had fun, mingled with the locals, and sang the night away!

The next morning we had to request a later checkout because by the time our eyes cracked open and my head stopped pounding, it was already 11am... So we were back on the road at around 1:30pm. We made a pit stop at a Jack-In-The-Box because we were craving a hot breakfast sandwich, and apparently Dunkin Donuts doesn't exist on the west coast (grumble grumble), and then killed a little time before we headed North to Washington to visit my friend Lee from high school.

The drive only took about 2.5hrs so when we got there, we went out for a bite to eat, and then just chilled and went to bed. We were still pretty beat from partying a little too hard the night before, and Lee was exhausted because he had just returned from military training and had been up since before the crack of dawn!
