Coast to Coast!

We began in Cambridge, then onward!
 Conneticut!




 Illinois welcomed us to Chicago with a toll...  we felt somewhat unwelcome in our former state.


 Wisconsin welcomed us twice...
 ...and began the fridgidocity!  -5 degrees!

 -10 degrees!
 -22 degrees!
 Montana was all ablurr... a frozen, frozen sub-zero blurr


 A 737 following us to Seattle!

 The West! - Northern Idaho is beautiful.

 Um, that sign says "Welcome to Washington!"
 We made it to Sammamish!
 Time for a rest in the pre-couch apartment.
And we're done! West Coast Baby!

The trip was mostly uneventful, >3000 miles, 3 audio books, no flat tires, no gas-outages, and we only got pulled over once!  About an hour from Sammamish an officer noticed a headlight had gone out, but was nice enough to let us off with a warning.  Phew!!!

We have to do a cross country drive soon too and I am dreading it. Maybe we'll ask to borrow your books on tape. Glad you made it safely! Uneventful drives are the best drives.

I bet you're wishing each state passed by as quickly as they did for us reading this post. Cross-country drives are the worst, and with a toddler? I admire you guys. Good work.
