Although I left the Boston area not even three weeks ago, my
roadtrip to California feels so far etched in the past! My little car was fully stocked - I didn't even think everything would fit, but it did!
Well, almost everything... I left behind two trash bags of clothes, and one bag with all my shoes and boots! My current shoe wardrobe is now pretty modest - 1 pair of sneakers, 1 pair of flip flops, and 2 pairs of wedges. The drive was beautiful and always changing - it went from vast farmland, to steep mountain passes, to brown stretches of desert, and then finally, to palm trees and ocean views!
Highlights (both good and bad) from the trip out west:
- Sitting in stopped traffic for two hours in Massachusetts
- Having the best.grilled.cheese.of.my.life at Bin 707
- Finding awesome deals on hotels thanks to Hotwire and Priceline!
- Driving into Denver as the sun was setting
- Only eating "unhealthy" fast food once (KFC)
- A morning hike in Zion National Park
- Crossing into California!
There's still a lot to do to get really, truly settled, but I'm getting there! And sooo happy to be back on the blogging circuit. Can't wait to hear what you all have been up to over the past couple of weeks!

Glad you finally made it! :)
That looks like an AMAZING trip! I'm still determined to drive cross-country someday, it looks like such an adventure. So glad to see you made it and are starting to get settled in - I'm up in the Culver City area, so if you ever want some neat places to check out up by West Hollywood and/or Santa Monica, let me know! :)
I want to do a cross country roadtrip one day and I love all the beautiful pictures you took!

Woohoooo!
Glad you made it :) Road trips can be very exhausting. Did you just pack up your car (no Uhaul or anything?) I only took what I could fit in my car when I moved to Boston. Best feeling to only take what you really need.
Can't wait to hear about all the new plans and adventures!
so great to hear from you!! what a gorgeous road trip, you are so lucky. I have always wanted to do something like that. your existing shoe collection sounds so easy, so simplified ;) enjoy getting settled.
