Californ-I-A or Bust!

"It feels like I'm running at an incredible rate of speed!"

Last month I took a trip to Cali with Sam. We had a blast. I kept a log. Every day. Here it is. Along with some awesome pictures too :)

9:15 am

Leaving Rexburg! Heading south on I-15.

9:23 am

We forgot Thom L

11:42 am

Gas at Garden of Eden near Twin Falls. Kylie paid. $40.01. There’s Krispy Kremes inside. I’m resisting…

2:58 pm (1:58 pacific time...we crossed the border)

We just got back on I-80 after stopping at Arctic Circle for lunch in Elko, Nevada. They have the best fries. Yum J

4:34 pm

Stopped in Lovelock for gas. Shanna pre-paid (old pumps J ) $40.00. The gas station is called, “Two Stiffs Selling Gas”. Hahahaha! J Photo shoot at the gas station.

I’m really craving some chocolate right about now… I bought a couple waters. No tax. I asked about it. The attendant told me unless I put the water in the microwave, which she recommended against because that would be yucky, there was no tax on the water. Following my blank and confused stare she told me if food was microwaved it would be considered “Restaurant food” and therefore would be taxed.

Also, I’m pretty sure I’m getting sunburned through the windshield….

5:47 pm

Sam and I have received new names. I’m Captain Random, and she’s Captain Obvious. Personally, I’m just happy I’m Captian of something. J

And this road! It just keeps coming!! *Dramatic sigh*.

6:28 pm

White Chevy van keeps getting in our way.

“Get your Astro out of our way!” –kt

6:33 pm

Almost rear-ended Astro. Close call… but they totally would have deserved it… ;)

9:48 pm

Pit stop at Burger King. Kylie got directions from her Dad that differed from Garmin’s. Ugh. Lost. (stink eye w/ nose curl) Hopefully Garmin can get us back on track.

Some time later that night…

Dropped Shanna off to her Mom J And yes, Garmin did get us there. He’s taking us to our destination. No disputes.

12:03 am (1:03 Mtn)

Finally! Got to Kylie’s! Get me outta this car! Mmmm, home for the night. Where’s my bed?

That's it for day one. And it just gets better! More to come shortly.
