A lot of packing
A fun foo man chu (Doesn't Eric just look ready to jump on his Harley or go kill a deer?!)
112 Colonial Drive (Our apartment windows were around the back)
Day 1: Reading, PA to Columbus, OH
We did amazingly well cramming our u-haul with help from the Elders Quorum, I was very happy that I didn't have to haul a single box down the stairs! I'm pretty sure this is the last time we will be able to pull off our trusty u-haul trailer for a move!
Are you deceived? Apparently we are! (Oops, forgot to get a pamphlet so I won't learn I guess)
This lady seriously looked like her dog! lol
West Virginia, one of the many stops to feed the little guy
After a very long first day of driving (Jared got his two bottom teeth on Sunday, which explained all the crying the day before) we arrived in Columbus, OH. We were able to visit with Amanda, Paul and Glenn, as well as Richard and Janae and their children. We had a great time. Amanda's birthday is just three days after Lilli's so we had a little party after church with cupcakes and cheesecake.
Of course Lilli just licked the frosting off her cupcake, she knows whats good!!
Day 2: Columbus, OH to Kansas City, MO (Well almost)
We saw a lot of this (a big improvement from Saturday and all the crying that's for sure)
Awwww
The giant cross just west of St. Louis
One downside to traveling west, it looks great but makes for a bad drive
Day Three: Kansas City to Denver, CO
This is one of the blades for the wind farms, it was HUGE!! We were able to stop and visit my cousin Mary and her family for the night, the girls had a blast playing with their three girls Wednesday morning before they left for school and we hit the road again. Thanks Mary and Michael!!
Day 4: Denver, CO to Roosevelt, UT
Our first glimpse of the rocky mountains!!!
We had a very enjoyable visit with my parents, sister Marianne and brother Marvin. The girls spent the majority of thursday outside eating lots of crab apples. They took a lot of walks with Grandma and snuggled up to Auntie M to watch cartoons.
Day 5: Roosevelt UT to Dillon, MT, then Day 6: Dillon to Spokane, WA
Somewhere in between Missoula, MT and Spokane.
I did not get any pictures of our visit with Eric's family. It was so good to see them.
Day 7: Spokane to Tacoma, WA
Who says all the huge rivers are in the east?? :)
Roll on Columbia, roll on (state song of WA)
Nice bridge
You can tell we're getting close cause its cloudy!!
More clouds please?
Pine trees...everywhere
Snoqualmie Pass
So after 7 days of driving and three days of rest (we managed not to travel on Sunday) we made it 3, 200.7 miles from Reading, PA to Tacoma, WA.
And here we are.
