Our somewhat drawn out migration begins...

This has to be the strangest migration to California yet.  We made it out of our house and just down the street to our local Best Western.  We can't leave town quite yet because Mason has his competitive soccer tryouts but yet we rented our house from June 1 forward...so here we sit at the hotel waiting for Mason's second session of tryouts this afternoon.  We'll have a good nights sleep here tonight after some more pool and hot tub time then hit the road first thing tomorrow morning.

Whenever I talk to people about our lifestyle the biggest hang up they have is the travel between Colorado and California.  I hear "You drive?!?"...like it's from here to Africa rather then just the West Coast.  I guess my kids have done it so many times that they don't even think twice about...it's all just part of the adventure.  I'm pretty grateful that my kids are good at all the new experiences and are flexible - I'm hoping that this will turn out to be a life skill that they will always have.
