So if you weren't aware I moved this week! I moved from just north of Tampa Florida to just North of Los Angeles, CA. The whole trip took me 3 long days and I drove in white-out rain, snow and sunshine. Florida usually pulls out all the stops whenever I try and leave it but this rain was so bad that I had to pull over twice because I couldn't see anything. I couldn't see the lanes, the side of the road or if there were cars behind me. So I pulled over to what I thought was the side of the road with my flashers on and prayed no one rear-ended me. I wasn't the only one. I let the little bursts pass and I'd get back on the road and see others pulled over or people doing 30 MPH with their flashers on. It was nuts. So I drove from my now old house all the way to the Texas border. Literally, I slept the first night at the rest stop on the state line. Then I drove from there to Lordsburg, NM and had nothing but sunshine the whole way. It was perfect. Then on day three I got up, it wasn't snowing, crossed the border into Arizona and it started blizzarding! I was like "Ok is this part of the whole Mayan apocalypse bullshit or an argument against global warning?" Then as the day went on it let up and I was fine. I got in at 5:00 PM local time but that meant I had spent 34 hours on the road. OI! That's a lot of driving.
If you follow my instagram or twitter feeds you'll have seen these but I thought I'd post them anyways!
And for a hint of what is coming this weekend:

| I took a side trip and went on adventure! |
For right now I'm just hanging out with my mom and my grandma. Tomorrow I'm going to visit a friend at work whom I haven't seen in almost 2 years and clean up my room. It was so weird to move my stuff back into my room. Felt like I was coming home from being away at college. LOL.
I will get back to my blogging this weekend and next week will be crazy because of the holidays and I have tons of family coming in so I'll have plenty of blogging for the new year!
What's the longest road trip you've ever taken?
I should move to Cali. It's to cold here. :p
ReplyDeleteAh, that camel is really cool!
Well, being from Florida and it not being below 70 there until recently, these 32 degree to 13 degree temperatures sure are making me want to go back! LOL.
