On our way to California


So today we left for our move to California. We left later than i was planning but it worked out O.K. We took the 1:00 ferry to Vancouver and headed south. Our biggest concern was having all the documentation we needed in order. We heard of people being sent back at the border and all kinds of stuff. While we were going through the process a oriental family beside us got sent away, so I guess it does happen. First off the border wait was literally nothing. We drove to the peace arch and drove right to a customs dude, NO WAIT. From the time we pulled up to the border to the time we left was 15min tops. We immigrated to the U.S. in 15 min!!! From there we drove straight south on the I5. We hit Seattle at about 5:30 Ignoring all traffic warnings. My only plan today was to make it past Seattle to avoid traffic tomorrow. Sienna and Elizabeth slept the whole way from the border to our ghetto crack shack hotel(3 hours+). The hotel we stopped at tonight is pretty sick, I think the may even charge by the hour, I dunno. It's a Days Inn which we've had luck with before . Anyways it'll do us fine for the night and tomorrow we hope to be at the south end of Oregon. Weather here is rain/snow mix and 6 degrees, weather in Gilroy on the day we should arrive is mostly sunny and 20 degrees, can't wait. That's all for now, time to have a soda and watch some Nascar racing.
