Our two week adventure

May 31 we start our "adventure" driving from Spokane to Idaho Falls, ID on I-15, then another stop at St. George, UT, and finally ariving in Loma Linda on the 2nd of June sometime in the afternoon.

All of our belongings, believe it or not, fit into this tiny u-haul (from Akron, OH--Scott's hometown) along with 6 bikes in the back of the truck.


Being on the road can make you feel a little crazy after awhile... (this is Jay, Katie's dad)

Our house at 11192 Rosarita Dr. Loma Linda, CA 92354 ... not ready yet for us to move into at this point... we unloaded all of our belongings into the garage until the painting, cleaning, and refinishing the hardwood floors are completed. The neighborhood is very safe and our neighbors are friendly--at the least the wives we've met that stay home with the kiddos while the husbands are in school. That seems to be the trend here.

Panera Bread--where we've enjoyed breakfast and internet since we've been in Loma Linda.

Anxiously waiting to see if we have seats on the flight to Mexico...after enjoying a relaxing day in Newport beach the day before...

We obviously made it... this is the balcony in front of our room at Sotavento Beach Resort (which was actually more like a hotel than a resort)

A day in the sweltering heat and humidity called for refreshment...and tacos!

Katie bartering for fresh fruit at the market and finally figuring out the peso.

We were in Zihuatanejo during their down season, little did we realize. This is the season that the locals come and enjoy the beach... lots of Mexican families with cute Mexican kids. We're still saying "hola!" and "gracias!" out of habit.

We are back in Loma Linda, sitting at Panera Bread, waiting till this afternoon when we get to transfer all of our belongings from the garage to the newly remodeled house (finally!). Scott begins his program on Monday the 16th, and Katie will continue her job search then as well.
