Week in WA #1

Well, its been a few days since the last update and it may take a few more days to actually write something important. We are super busy setting up the house...including the yard. 2200sq.ft. is much different that our small condo. Taking care of the house will be a full-time job.

We will update in a few days with whats happening. Miss you all so much.

Day 3 - Cambria to Shasta

Good Evening Southern Californians,

It's 11:00pm and we are now settled in our Best Western Hotel room (room #131). We drove from Cambria to Shasta via PCH-101-???-5. I think we drove about 500+ miles today. It was so beautiful.

Our stay in Cambria was really relaxing. If you ever get a chance to go to Cambria...make sure you stay on Moonstone Beach. There are a load of Inns right on the beach with beautiful views of the Pacific. If you time it just right you can stay in Cambria during a minus low tide for hours of fun in the tide pools. We had a 1.5ft low tide which is a bit high for the tide pools but we were still able to find some starfish, hermit crabs and sea anemones. Seals hang out on the rocks and watch your every move...its really cool.

Sorry for the "fly in the butt" thing...the little bloke crawled down...well nevermind...sorry!! He's not there now...don't worry.

Anyway...we started our drive at 9:00am from the Fog Catcher Inn in Cambria. The drive up the coast from Cambria to Big Sur was breathtaking. I think it took us about 3 hours to drive from San Simeon to Carmel....we stopped for pictures a few times and of course ate lunch at Nepentha (an Andrist ritual).



Once you pass through Monterey you leave the coast and head towards Sacramento. Somewhere south of Sacramento we drove through a very large rainstorm that produced more lighting than I have seen in the last few years. It was awesome!! I think we drove about 100 or more miles before we were able to turn off the wipers. It was nice to see some rain. I guess we will be seeing some more rain in the next few months...ha!!

The rest of the drive was somewhat uneventful but beautiful. California is such a great place to view Gods creation. If you ever get a chance...the drive is long but rewarding. From the clear blue seas of the central coast to the countless miles of deep green pines of Shasta in one day...its almost too much to take in.

Talk to you later...

On Our Way...

Hello All....
Well, we are starting a blog....this post is just a test to see what it looks like. We are currently in Cambria California. It is so peaceful and beautiful up here. We just left our home in Thousand Oaks and we are on our way to Washington. We already miss our friends and family back home. It is very strange to be in between homes. Our Thousand Oaks condo is empty...thanks to Jamey, Dyan, Mema, JJ (Godzilla), Jan, Dan and Jason A.

Tomorrow morning we will be leaving for Shasta California. I think we will be in the car for 9 or 10 hours...yikes.

We will update more later...
