Headed South. Chasing Sun.

{umm yes, i am ornery enough to have labeled treat and snack items for days 1, 2, 3. it worked great.}

{our super-helper}

{on our way..}

{oh man...it's best not to look at the km lying in wait, when just starting out...}

{early at the start of our first full day}

{a little fromage for you all. this was before the super scary border lady. i still get chills}

{you may or may not recognize the font of the red letters in the back but in case you were worried, our first stop was at target to grab a few food items...which we then used to make lunch...which took place upon our cooler as well as a piece of curb.

it was perfect - this is how memories are made}

{it was a long first full day}

{starting day two...fortunately we're still all smiles}

{smiles started to be fewer and farther in between somewhere around here}

{you may recognize this girl...we had the privilege of stopping by her home and hanging out, on our way down}

{we saw more snow in the past 2 1/2 days than we have all winter in BC, i'm quite certain...interstates and major roads closed, chains required, floods everywhere, high winds you name it we drove it. it was insane}

{approaching our final destination}

{mmmm, supper.}
