After 2 days of driving through 7 states, 2 nights in a hotel, and almost 1,300 miles we finally made it to Austin. I put together a collage of the trip down, filled with lots of snapchat filters (of course).
Day 1 we traveled from NC to Gulfport, Mississippi. We stopped for dinner and stayed at a Clarion Inn, which was very nice. As you can see Molly wasn't excited about the car ride. She wouldn't sit in her car seat and basically rode in my lap the whole way.
Day 2 we drove from Mississippi to Austin, Texas and didn't have any trouble until we hit Houston and was stuck in traffic for like 2 hours in the rain (it was awful). We didn't get to Austin until after our apartment office closed, so that caused us to have to stay the night Tuesday night in a hotel, So Wednesday we spent all day unpacking the truck and it was HOT. No seriously it was HOT, like Texas, surface of the Sun HOT. Especially in that moving truck. The rest of the week has been hot but breezy and not so hot.
Thanks to this guy for taking vacation from work to drive Adam's truck down here and helping us unload all our stuff. He is more than our friend, he is like family to us. We can't thank him enough for all the hard work he put in to help us. Mitch, you are a lifesaver!!
Wednesday night we went to dinner with some friends at the Hula Hut, which is on Lake Austin. I could get use to this view. It was a nice evening with some great friends. Since we already know a couple that live in Austin, it is making the transition to living here much easier. I am so grateful for Chad Honaker, who helped Adam with the application process and really talked to him about how great it is here. After only been living here for 4 days, we would agree with him.
Once I get pictures on the wall and all the boxes out, I will post some pictures of our place. We are loving our place and the area so far. Traffic still sucks around here but the pros definitely out way the cons.
