Western States

While most other days of the trip could have been considered sightseeing days, Friday was definitely a travel day. We traveled about 700 miles from Blackfoot, Idaho through Utah to Reno, Nevada, about 12 miles west of California and about 220 miles from San Francisco. As you can see from the pictures below the highlights were relatively few.

The children (cats) were again wonderful travelers and we've been amazed at how well they've held up the whole trip. For the second night in a row by the time we got to our hotel room and got the litter box set up one immediately started using it while the other was patiently waiting right next to it ready to hop right in.

We need to make it to our leasing office by 4pm Saturday in order to get our keys - if we don't make it there in time we can't get in our apartment until Monday. So if there's another update tomorrow it's a bad sign - it means we're stuck in a motel outside San Francisco with all of our possessions still in the truck.

Also, Jeff will be starting his job on Wednesday so we have a little more time to get settled. We'll post pictures of the new place when we can.
