Guess who is a Californian now!

We made it!! Joe and I got to the East Bay area around 2:00 PT today. We are so excited and thrilled to be here clapping

We left on Tuesday and drove a little over 2,700 miles, from North Carolina through Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and finally into California!

We got into our apartment today, but our stuff won't arrive until later next week. So we will be sleeping on an air mattress until then.

We had our first package at our new address too - joe renewed my D23 subscription and had it sent here yay

Now I can start planning the big 2013 birthday bash at DisneyLand clapping

congrats on the completion of youre trip. Here's hoping it was uneventful and you have a few days to get acclimated before you have to get back to the daily grind.

Holy Smokes! Clearly I have some major catching up to do on here! I'll go back and research before I start asking silly questions that have already been answered, but in the meantime, I'm so glad you've made it safely and congratulations on the big move!

Glad you got there safely.

Don't forget it is a California law that you have to start and end sentences with either the word "dude" or "man"?

congrats

My first Disney Park memory is on my dad's shoulders as we walk through the castle after buying a big circle lollipop. I was about four years old. Its really vague..but at the same time I remember so much about it. I love California and I'm sure you all will too.

Are you sure you wanna house with an apartment that close to that? Thats an AMAZING view! So happy for you both. You both deserve it! And I second Hub. Need tickets when Joe gets on the food network!

What a fabulous view - how lucky to wake up to that every day. I hope you settle in right away, and have fun finding your permanent place.

We're really loving it, Bill! It's such a big lifestyle change but it;s all for the better. Even the dogs have adjusted really well Smile

I never realized how much fun it is to be able to walk to alot of things. And there is always something going on around here that we want to go see.

Joe says if I decide to move again I'm going alone.... eek

laugh So glad that you're loving it! I thought you would, it's a fantastic place to live. There's so much to see and do in NorCal and the weather is always so wonderful. Are you guys near a BART? Can you get into San Fran easily?

We've got a BART station about 1.5 miles away. We're going to check it out either this weekend or next and go to the Ferry Building Farmer's Market, and maybe Fisherman's Wharf.

The drive from our apartment in Emeryville to downtown San Fran is about 15 minutes - super easy, right over the Bay Bridge!

We thought of Ollie when we went to The Cheesboard - we were like 2 deer in headlights trying to figure out what to get! We could have used a cheese expert! And then gone for cupcakes! biggrin
