Pretty incredible how quickly life changes. A few weeks ago I was busy working at OrangeSoda, making friends and feeling productive about life. Now I’m across the country, using internet from our new clubhouse to work remotely and Taylor is in school full-time. It was actually difficult for me to leave Utah (never thought I’d say that) but I’m so glad we’re here. Jacksonville seems great so far and we’re 15 minutes from the beach. Holler.
But more on Jacksonville later. Today, and Thursday, I’ll update you on our trip out here.
We left Utah with our Explorer and Taylor-made trailer and we were so excited.
We decided to take the north route so we drove through Wyoming (see the windmills below) and Nebraska.
See our reflection? That and corn were all the entertainment Nebraska had to offer.
We meant to stop in Omaha, but there was a bridge tournament so there were zero open hotel rooms. Seriously, bridge. Anyway, we got about 40 minute south of Omaha and found an American Inn & Suites just off a trucker stop. We got as far as our teeth-brushing when Taylor found used earplugs in the bed. It was enough to piss him off, wake him up and we headed off (with full refund).
We ended up going until we were just outside of Saint Louis. We watched the sunrise (check out my picture of it or see all of them in Instagram @hurststatus) We checked into a Motel 6 a full 24 hours after leaving Utah. Taylor’s incredible, doing that with our little trailer.
