I know that none of you had any idea about this trip. Well. Neither did I! The original plan was to drive out to Pheonix with David’s sister and brother. But when we got that far, we thought, “why the heck not just drive across the country?” I know. I’m young and can do this sort of crazy stuff and get away with it. And I am NOT complaining. I just drove across the entire country!! Correction, I just RODE across the entire country. I haven’t sat in the driver’s seat for one second. (Driving’s not really something I’m in love with. But riding. Riding I can do.)
I’m sitting here in LA for the night, creating this post, and when you read it, I’ll either be dipping my toes in the Pacific Ocean, or walking the Hollywood walk of fame. It’s CRAZY that I got to do this.
It has been quite the journey. First stopping, after traveling 24 hours, in Oklahoma/the land of NOTHING, and stayed there for New Year’s. It was so beautiful, blank, and peaceful there. My sister-in-law, Rachel, likes to describe OK as ‘abandoned’. Perfect description.
Then drove to Pheonix, stayed the night in Rachel’s beautiful apartment. Got up. Went on our way to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. Now, let me explain why the Grand Canyon pictures look the way they do. The sun was setting as we got there, and after sprinting to the edge, we barely made it there in time to even make anything out. So, if you haven’t already figured it out, we sat still for 30 seconds in that picture of us at the Canyons. It was so dark, we were using a flash light. HA! Making memories everywhere.
Walked around Vegas last night, stopped at the Hoover Dam (which was my favorite), and headed to our very nice hotel in California! I’m so excited for exploring tomorrow.
This won’t be the last of my posts from this trip!
(ahhhh)
Enjoy, friends! Thanks for reading!

The small town that we stayed at in OK. Where David is walking is their “main street”. Those two buildings. YEAH.
Here is an abandoned house we went into! I was having a FIELD DAY in this place.
Of course I brought this home with me 😉
The people we stayed with had a farm. Behind this horse, is Texas! About 20 miles away. You can see lights blinking right near the border at night. It’s actually very beautiful.
Fortunately, we had some food with us and David gave it to them (:
I knew immediately that David would FREAK when we passed this house, right in a valley. All rustic and such. His dream.
We met up with some friends of Rachel’s while passing through New Mexico.
If you know anything about David, you saw this one coming a while ago.
very cool!!!! 😀 So Spontaneous just how I like it!
