Cali Road Trip: Day 1 & 2

Before we left good 'ol Florida we had a super nice brunch with some of Beau's coastie friends at McGuire's!

Loading up the 26 foot long Penske truck...

truck not even close to being full!  and we enjoyed a nice picnic in the truck while it rained...  :)

so I thought I was getting really good gas mileage...

then at this point I called my brother to brag about my mileage...

um, yeah, my car is pretty awesome!

Day 1 & 2 we drove through Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and just made it into New Mexico.

After the craziness of packing the entire house ourselves and driving like crazies for two days we made it to our first destination: Colorado Springs on day 3!  

Prepare yourselves for lots and lots of pictures to come!  xoxo

Crazy to think that a month ago Beau received his wings of gold!  After almost two years of training, he's ready to go out into the real world and put his knowledge to good use!  So proud of him!  xoxo
