Day 14, end... almost there

So!  Back to Day 13 a little bit, we drove up to the Sacramento area to visit my cousin Ashley who I hadn't seen in years.  The visit was wonderful, her kids are adorable, and her husband is great!  We were only able to stay for a few hours, but it was great to just relaxing in a house, feel normal for a bit. :)  Was also great to finally meet her little trooper of a daughter, Maddie, who is only 5 months old and pulling through some serious health issues.

After that we went back south a bit to Stockton for party time with some local friends.  After a not-too restful night on a couch we got up and got ready for our almost final day:

Day 13 end

Just a quick update tonight! Today we visited my cousin which was a WONDERFUL time and I was so glad to see her for a while. Now we're down in Stockton, CA at a friend's place hanging out with about 6 of our local area friends. :D

Day 13 morning

Day 12, California

So, this morning we woke up in Johan's house in Escondido, CA and were treated to a wonderful breakfast before hitting the road for our final long driving day.

Day 11 end

So, this morning we sadly left Las Vegas behind and headed off into the desert toward Escondido, CA.

California

So, we've only been in California for 2.5 hours, but it already wins for worst drivers and most GPS alerts for traffic, construction, hazards, cops, etc.

Day 9 end: The Journey so Far

So, now that we've arrived in Vegas I can finally sit down and type up our last few days!

Alright, so I guess we're going back to.. day 7?  The morning we left Tulsa, OK and went allllllll the way to Albuquerque, NM.  That was quite the day.

Day 8 end

So, no big post again tonight sadly.  We made it to the Grand Canyon and it's gorgeous but the wifi is terrible so I can't upload pictures and things until tomorrow when we get to Vegas.  Quick summary, the land out here is amazingly beautiful, and though it's hard to see much of the canyon itself right now due to low rain clouds covering most of it, what we can see is incredible.  Big summary post of the last few days coming tomorrow after the drive to Vegas and checking into The Palms. :D
