Rabbles and Alex are moving to the east coast via a cross country roadtrip through NV, UT, CO, KS, MO, KY, WV, and VA ending up in DC and NC.
Our mode of transportation: 2000 Toyota Tacoma: nicknamed: Taco Toyo.
We packed the car Sunday night with all our crap. And "enough food for Rabbles."
We had one last breakfast at ABC restaurant in the city with my parents and pretty soon we were on the road. Only 3 hrs late...
We started from the coastal fog of San Francisco and within an hour we were in the heat of the Central Valley. Pics will be posted when we have access to a real computer of the packed car and the major landmarks amidst the miles and miles of yellow hills on I-5.
As seen on fb, we found a stowaway: Froggy! He's been a trooper sitting in the middle seat of Taco Toyo. Alex seriously wanted to take him onto the strip with us.
The wait for check-in was insanely long but it was worth it when they upgraded us to a suite! We had a living room, two bathrooms, and a huge four poster bed on the top floor at the Flamingo. All for $50! The Flamingo is a bit older but I think that makes the pool and lounges areas way better because the trees have matured a bit.
We are now on our way to Zion NP, UT after we fueled up Taco Toyo and ourselves! Hopefully we make it in time to do the Angels Landing hike.
