Howdy y'all!! We made it to Corpus Christi, TX. All in all we ended up spending about 24 hours on the road. It was a super long drive, but a lot of it was on highway roads, so there were some fun sights to see along the way. I'd never been to Moab before (I know, pathetic right) so it was kind of fun to cruise through there and see some of the arches. Utah really is a beautiful state in its own way.
Are we the only ones that a giant sign painted on the mountain is slightly ghetto?
Arches (taken through the window, so you can see the bugs)
We made it to Cuba! Also the best picture I could
get going through the town at 40 MPH.
We stayed in Roswell, NM the first night. The whole town is obsessed with alien spacecraft and all kinds of Area 51 type stuff. They claim there was a UFO sighting on July 4, 1947. We think it was radiation exposure from the A-bombs... It was a pretty cool little town though.
Corpus Christi Bay. This was taken about 2 minutes away from our house, right by Texas A&M. What a pretty place!
Ian wading in The Atlantic Ocean. If I remember right, this was the first time I'd ever been in the Atlantic.
White cap beach. Can you guess where its name comes from?
I haven't taken any pictures of the apartment yet, but it is SO nice. We can see the bay from our kitchen window, and it's at least twice the size of our old apartment. That's not really saying much, but still.
Ian's getting the hang of the whole selling thing pretty well. There were a couple hiccups with his licensing, but we got all that worked out, and I'm thinking it'll be a pretty successful summer. I'm still looking for temp/volunteer jobs right now. I'll let you know how that all pans out.
What a cool place to live! It's 100% different from Utah, but it's pretty fun to wake up in the morning and go play at the beach for an hour or so before Ian has to go to work, which is what we did this morning, but also have the conveniences and some of the familiarities of home here. I'm still having a crazy time navigating all the roads, but that's what GPS is for, right? It's gonna be a great summer!
