The Journey - Day 3

Today was the final leg of the road trip. We drove 266 miles, so it was a short day.

Initially we were planning on hanging out in Reno for a little bit and stopping for a burger in Truckee, but we changed our plans on the fly and left in the morning so we could get to our new home by early afternoon. Besides it was raining in Reno, so there wasn't much for us to do outdoors. In fact, it rained the entire drive to San Jose. OK, nice joke, but we really would like our sun we were promised. Other than that the drive through the Sierras was gorgeous. I think Angie took some pictures so I'll get those together and post them in a future blog post.

We were treated to a nice surprise on the drive in. We got a call from the moving truck driver and he told us he would be able to get our stuff delivered on Sunday (the day after we arrive). It looks like we won't be living in an empty house for too long.

We got to the house around 1PM and looked around. I was pleasantly surprised as it is bigger than I remember it being when we looked at it. Sidney loved her room and was happy overall with our choice. I'm glad it meets her approval.

After we unloaded the minivan and got the animals settled, we decided to go out and get some lunch and get familiar with the area. We had our first CA meal at In N Out burger, per Sidney's request. We then did a little shopping and headed back home (it feels weird saying that considering we literally had nothing in the house at this point).
