The Drive- Day 6

On Wednesday morning we packed up the car and continued our drive. We have driven to Durango from Las Vegas and back several times so we knew what this day would entail. But, for the first time in a long time we would stop in Kingman,Arizona, the first place with an In-N-Out Burger on our route!

The Drive - Day 4 and 5 (NO driving necessary)

On day 4 and 5 of our adventure west we stayed in Colorado. My brother, sister-in-law and two nephews live in Durango, a quiet little town full of hippies, cyclist, and outdoor enthusiasts. We played, biked, explored and eat many delicious meals. It was a much needed rest. The kind of rest you get when you are with people who know you and love you and enjoy just being there with you.

 

The Drive- Day 3

We finally slept in and had a great breakfast getting to know some new friends over homemade waffles and coffee. Then we headed a quick 4 hours to Kansas City, MO to meet Blake's Aunt Sandy and explore another new city. Sorry not so many pictures from this portion of the trip...

When in Kansas City you must eat barbecue, so we did.

Quite the experience... this is not for the dieting types. 

The Drive- Day 2

Friday morning we were up early again and continued west to St. Louis. First stop, The Arch. It is so big you guys! Seriously, I was not prepared. We underestimated the popularity of the arch experience and ended up being there all morning.

The Drive- Day 1

So on Thursday morning we got in the car and headed toward Louisville Kentucky. This was our last view of the capital... it was to early for photos.

First Post! Welcome to We Moved to the Beach.

On Friday, August 1, 2014 my husband and I packed everything we owned into 2 wooden boxes and locked them up.

 

Then, we said goodbye to the amazing city of Washington DC and started driving west, to Huntington Beach, California.

 

I thought about posting all of our pictures and adventures along the way to some social media site for friends an family to see, but then I decided to start a blog instead. This is a place for me to share the things we discover, eat and sometime wear as we navigate our first year in our new home.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you come back soon!
