So long, California....




After two weeks in California, we have finally arrived in Arizona. Stopped off in Prescott, AZ and are staying at a unique historic hotel in the center of town (http://www.hassayampainn.com/). Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!




We've been on the road for two weeks now and wanted to summarize the trip to date:




Mileage (since leaving Montana) - 3,872


Montana plate sightings - 2


Highest gas price paid - $3.98/gallon in Leggett, CA


Highlights - Yosemite NP, Big Sur, Disneyland (at least for Lindsay!) and Joshua Tree NP


Favorite road snack - Hummus and whatever we can find to dip in it....


Thankful to have with us - single burner camp stove, down comforter, spanish language CDs, iPod, Thule roof rack (Thanks, Mom & Randy)


Favorite meal - sushi in San Diego, Ethiopian in Sacramento, Chocolate covered banana in Disneyland


Favorite accomodations - camping in Joshua Tree, Yurts in Big Sur

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Cora and the boys

Dave's friends, Scotty, Ryan and Danny, have been taking good care of us this week. We're thinking about asking them to move in long-term! Ryan is currently making us a fancy breakfast and Danny is still trying to find us the perfect Subaru Forrester to purchase.

Cora Biedel Nelson

We welcomed Cora at 5:41pm on Saturday, July 18th after 12 hours of labor. Thanks to the help of our wonderful doula, Carissa, we were able to stay at home for the first 6 hours of labor. Our nurses and midwife at Kaiser Sunnyside were wonderful and helped Lindsay get through the labor and delivery drug-free. We came home today and are already lost in the world of poopy diapers, feeding and getting sleep when we can. Oh the thrill of sleep deprivation! We'll be in touch when we get our heads above water.
