So, as some of you may or may not know.. I have left my beautiful home of Portland and ventured off to the east coast again. The most amazing man I have ever met swept me off my feet (again) and welcomed me into his life. So my kitties and I are now part of a military family in NC.
We packed up a truck and drove across the country, and me being the amazing yarn bomber that I am, decided to put crocheted flowers on the welcoming state signs along the way.
Here we goooo!
Idaho
We missed Montana because we were going through some treacherous mountain pass.
Wyoming (it was windy as shit btw)
South Dakota!!!
We missed Iowa I think because of construction, so here’s Missouri.
Also missed Illinois because of a stupid bridge, so here’s Indiana.
Kentucky, its hard to see, but it’s there!
Tennessee.
And lastly, North Carolina.
- Our totals:
- 12 states covered
- 8 dead skunks smelled
- a little over 3400 miles covered
- 6 days of driving
- saw 3 herds of antelope, 3 mule deer, and 1 pheasant
Oh and the cats actually did wonderful. After the first couple days the screaming stopped and they mellowed out. Stoli found her favorite spot on the dash.
And Akasha found her favorite spot in the drivers lap.
The trip was pretty good. We got to see our families, a lot of the country, shared a bunch of new things with each other, laughed, talked, and played the nintendo DS. As much as I miss Portland, I’m glad to be here. I’m finally truly happy and feel like Doug is as well.
