August 23rd Day 1

I’m not sure how exciting this blog will be in the days to follow, but it will be a journal of sorts for me…a reminder of the cross-country move we are currently making. I’ll try and include the good, the bad, the views we see, stops made and the people we meet along the way……
Today we said goodbye to family, as we embarked on the true beginning of our move to Washington DC. We have been living out of suitcases for 35 days and I am anxious to get on with this final step.

So, today we head out of Warren, Oregon and drive to Reno, Nevada…our first stop for the night. The day was gorgeous, with the sun shining and no clouds in sight. We stopped a few times including a stop for lunch at a rest stop. With the day so nice, we figured we would sit and enjoy the repast while getting a break from the tediousness of driving. Mt. Shasta was her regal self, with only a few wispy clouds around the summit, an unusual sight for us, as Shasta’s summit is usually hidden from view by clouds when we have traveled this portion of I-5 in the past.

We have eaten, and after some TV, we will be getting a good nights rest in preparation for the next leg of our journey……
