Adventure thus far ....

After a late start and a long nerve wracked wait at the border we sailed through the booth with no questions asked.

 Clearly we were excited! 

The next stop:

Introduce Ellie to Jack in the Box.

We decided to stop in at Pike Place Market to grab a coffee, take a look around and stock up on some fresh veggies for dinner.

 

Real Reason: 

Torture Dru into posing with what Nick and Ellie lay claim to as "Dru's Mecca"

Getting stuck in rush hour between Seattle and Tacoma made the urge to camp on the coast essential! We made our first meal and cracked into our first VERY LARGE bottle of wine, which aided in  waking to the knock of the park ranger and a late start.

The Oregon Coast is beautiful! 

As we traveled south the increase in warmth was welcomed.

Better yet, crossing into California to be greeted by All Star Liquor turned us giddy.

And of course: 

It had to be done!

An early morning detour through the Avenue of the Giants was nothing but amazing. 

We certainly got out $6 worth!

Next Stop:

San Francisco 

Which is where we were greeted by a smiling Savary friend!

After cold beers and a quick bite to eat we were off for a fantastic tour of the city. 

Neighborhoods, museums, beaches and little hot spots, all of which with out the help of Susea we would have never even know they existed.

Thank You!
