On June 18th we finally drove out of Los Angeles, 3 hours behind schedule. We didn't get to Angela & Bob's house in Sacramento until 10pm, needless to say we missed dinner. We had a great time the next day when they took us wine tasting to a couple of their favorite wineries.Friday morning we set off for Portland to see Steve's best friend Bill and his wife Cordelia. Saturday they took us to see their Lake Merwin property and some SeaDoo fun.
We had a great view of Mount St. Helen.
Got to ride the Sea Doo
Did I mention that Bill wanted to show us what they can do? They are not like a kayak, they won't right themselves.Sunday was a golf day. It started out with drizzles but ended beautifully, warm and sunny. Even better, we scored well.
Monday ended our little vacation and we headed for our new home.
All-in-all the week went really well.
We were pleasantly surprised to see that the cheapest gas was just up the road.
Steve, jokingly, says "Wouldn't it be funny if they booked our condo?"
So guess what we see when we pulled up to our condo? The lights were on and there were indeed people inside. Luckily, we were able to stay in the single side for the night and they were relocated the next day. It did slow us down. We couldn't even start unloading the truck until after noon.
Before we left L.A., Steve spent hours on the phone getting all of the utilities set up. But things just kept snowballing. Direct TV never showed up on Tuesday, like they were supposed to. When we tried to call they to find out why, we discovered that the phone company didn't set us up with long distance s we couldn't even call them to let them know that there was a problem.
By Wednesday the phones were working and Direct TV showed up to install our new dish, but Wildblue never showed up to install our high speed internet.
Steve was beyond mad. By Sunday evening, we finally had all of our utilities up and running.
It's been nutty everyday. We've never worked this hard even when we had jobs, but we wouldn't trade it for the world.

So picture this; we pull through the entrance at around 7pm
