Welcome to SoCal!

As many of you know, in November we are packing it up and moving to Southern California. We have created this blog so that we can have a central place for our family and friends to get updates and so that we have a way of recording the wonderful memories that we are going to make here.

When we made the decision to move here, it was sight unseen. Today we finally laid eyes on the place we will soon call home. Today was day 1 of our 10 day house hunting trip.

Today was really just a travel day. We woke up at 2:30 am EST and arrived in LA at 10:30 PST, already exhausted.

We got our rental car (a cute black Jetta that Dave hates driving!) and took the 405 to the Pacific Coast Highway. It's just like it sounds...a highway that runs all along the Pacific Ocean. What I didn't know is that immediately to the right of us would be mountains. It was probably the most beautiful drive either of us have ever made.



We stopped in Malibu and had lunch at Jack-in-the-Box. Our view was phenomenal and the food was delicious. Not sure if that's because it is actually good or because we were so starving.


After lunch we got back on the highway and continued north. We knew we were going to spend today just driving around and familiarizing ourselves with the different areas. There are several towns that we may settle in and we wanted to get a feel for each one.

We briefly and broadly explored 3 towns before we got too tired and decided to check into our hotel. We aren't even going to try to fight the time change battle; we are headed to bed early.

Appointment tomorrow to start looking at houses!
