Part 4: Las Vegas, NV --> Santa Cruz, CA --> San Francisco, CA
 |
| the last leg, yipeee! |
From Las Vegas, we drove 10 hours to Santa Cruz, a
beautiful beach town in central CA. Finn’s aunt Sharon lives there & we had
the good fortune of spending Easter with her, her kind husband, and their fun
kids, who are all our age. We’re thankful to have some kin nearby and Sharon
& her husband made us feel right at home. We slept in, did laundry, ate
extremely well, and had gifts and candy on the table Easter morning! Sharon
even lent us her car for a few days when we drove into SF to find an apartment.
Without them, our move into
the city would have been about 3x more complicated.
Not too many photos to share here. Your eyes can have a rest!

| such a good moment. the last box out of big-daddy-penske! |
The drives to Santa Cruz and from Santa Cruz to SF were both
beautiful – giant trees, lots of green, and the Pacific ocean. The moment of
crossing over the state line and the early drive into SF caused some stomach
tingling on my part. We were finally in California, so close to where our new
chapter awaited us, its details totally unknown. We still had the nervousness
related to needing an apartment quickly & didn’t know what to expect about
moving into a city. Of course, it all turned out just fine.

I found your blog via a post on Facebook - what a treasure! I'm always excited to find a blogger in my general area. My name is Heather, and I live in Santa Cruz... Nice to "meet" you! Glad to see you stopped by this lovely beach town on your journey west! It truly is heaven here. Can't wait to read more to see how your journey has unfolded in the last year :)
