CALIFORNIA BABY!

AYE Errrbody! So I haven't blogged in a while because Josh and I have been in the midst of moving across the country. I got a job with Titmouse Inc. in Hollywood as an animator and so a couple weeks ago, we packed up our Boston pad and started the trek across America. For some reason I only got my camera out around Kansas...This place called Prairie Dog Town was just calling for pictures.



After Kansas, things got interesting. Er, not that Prairie Dog Town wasn't.



Utah's got some awesome weirdo landscapes.





TO MY EXTREME PLEASURE! We got to stay our third night at Bryce Canyon. Next day we spent a few hours hiking a trail and strolling through some shops. Crazy rock shops. Geods out the wazoo.




We stayed a mile up the road from Ruby's Inn, where my family and I camped at 12 years before. It was the weirdest feeling being back there.


Our drive through Zion. (About 45 minutes or so from Bryce). More awesome than i even remembered. The pictures don't live up! Just trust me! Go there!



So after a half day of hiking and driving for 3 .5 straight days, we were pretty freakin tired. So it turned out we'd hit ...well....VEGAS around 6 so we decided to stay the night there. What the hey, eh? Josh made out with 50 bucks and I lost seven. But man, it's a crazy place. Drinking cocktails on the street and watching pirates while strolling through venice all at the same time.



So we finally made it to LA after 4.5 days of driving. We stayed in an Extended Stay for 3 nights and then fell in love with the first apt we looked at. Here are a few pics of the 2 BD apt. we found in Burbank. IT HAS A DISHWASHER! HALLELUJAH!




Downtown Burbank. Lots of shops n restaurants, etc. Alas, no Chipotles around! But the freshly experienced In N Out should make up for it.



We've been reunited with our friend, Pete, from school. He helped us find a kickass couch. He also has an amazing sense of irony.


And finally, a first night out on the LA town. Pete's there too but sacrificed being in the picture to take it for us. :) Thanks Pete. SO FAR SO GOOD WITH CALI WOOO!
