Nate and I met in Los Angeles to begin the great move to San Francisco last Thursday. We started with his uncle’s 1983 Toyota pick-up truck and in epic fashion, packed that thing up until it couldn’t hold anything else. We left Saturday morning for a majestic and all-American drive up to San Francisco on Highway 1. And by drive I mean Nate only drove - that car was a stick shift with no power steering so my roles were DJ and Chief of Snacks. And now I write this to you from our new apartment, so I can promise you that we made it safely (much to my mother’s worries). Check out our journey below!

Wow! Such beautiful pictures! I can’t believe how many elephant seals there were- holy moly! But what’s even better is the avocado deal. That is freakin’ awesome. 🙂
