Birthday breakfast smiles at the start of our Big Day beginning travel!
With the help of our friends, Papi pieced our belongings into the trailer and tied them down for the long drive. We celebrated the New Year, and Papi's last shift for a long while. Papi went to Portland one last time to attempt to get a Menage de Casa approved for the move. Then on my birthday, January 4th, after a birthday breakfast at Sunnyside Up Cafe, and last-minute prepping and cleaning, we drove out the driveway!
We stopped at a motel in southern Oregon to spend the night and then drove to Sacramento the next day. I was surprised at how easy the whole drive was ~ the trailer was easy for Papi to drive with the UHaul, and Anjali was entertained happily the whole way ~ with the help of many many renditions of Christmas songs sung loudly along the way (of which I am very disappointed that I am having trouble getting videos to you!).
Here are the captions to the photos which follow:
-Papi made a fire beside the trailer to warm their hands while they packed in the Oregon chill.
