A new state, but not state of mind

We arrived at my parents house at 645. So it took a total of 13 hours and 25 minutes to go the 790 miles from Fresno to Welches. We only had to stop to pee twice. All other times were included in gas stops, or lunch stop. I think you all should be very proud of Stephanie!

When we arrived my dad was mixing some fantastic margaritas and my mom was getting a fantastic dinner together. We had bbq grilled steaks, cheesy garlic bread, a superb potato salad, a green salad with feta cheese and dried tomatoes, and grilled corn on the cob. We topped it of with chocolate covered ice cream for dessert. All this after working a full day at the office! Love you mommy!

I voraciously read all my fans' comments, and I want to explain the duct tape. Our cigarette lighter in our ford escort is actually made for lighting cigarettes (gasp!). So it's a little smaller than is useful for plugging in 12-volt car accessories. In order to power our inverter we have to continually push on the plug to keep contact and power running. This is tedious, so I turned to nature's glue, duct tape, to do the job for me! You can see the results of this fabulously ghetto setup in one of the pictures.
