Yesterday was quite a day. We closed on our house (Thank you Jessica for signing for us over and over again!). On top of that, the movers came, much to Ramona's confusion. She was locked in a room for 2 hours, and when she came out, the house was empty! A couple hours of later, we hit the road. Leaving Seattle was definitely bittersweet for both of us.
We spent last night in Portland, having one last dinner (at a tasty Thai restaurant with a terrible name) with our friends down there. We took off this morning, after a quick breakfast at one of our favorite Portland brunch spots, Utopia Cafe, heading for the border. After stopping in Oregon for a quick hike, we officially left the Pacific Northwest, crossing into California around 3 pm.
We stopped for the night in Arcata, pressing on a bit more than we
expected, after learning that Ramona was not allowed on any trails in either Redwood National or State Parks. I didn't realize how anti-dog California is! Luckily, we found a dog-friendly spot with Redwoods, which we plan on exploring in morning.Mileage so far: 615.1

We're glad to hear that your trip is going well so far. What a bummer about Ramona and the redwoods. She sure looks sweet sleeping there, though... Looking forward to hearing from you two in a future post.
Oh, and guess what? We totally locked in the Colts season tix. We'll have to discuss the schedule once you're all settled in. ;)
ciao!

Too bad Ramona can't hike through the redwoods with you, but I'm sure you will find other sights along the way, you could ride her down the Grand Canyon on the mule path and introduce her to her first cornfield. It's a whole new world for the Brown Menace. I'll look forward to the updates. Drive safe.
