So, I just found several pics on my phone of the journey to Redding and the first few days after getting here that I hadn't posted to Facebook yet, and figured I'd post them to my blog instead, because then I can write about them AND share it on FB.
Let the picture montage begin!
Starting off with Morro Bay: After leaving San Diego (from seeing my awesome Aunt Nancy), we decided to take a coastal approach; we hit Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and L.A. (all of these are on FB), and then it was on to Morro Bay for the night - a cute little coastal town that happens to be right beside Morro Rock (a volcanic plug that is about 576 ft high!). Unfortunately, the marine mist was so thick you couldn't really see anything :( sad story - this will be the case for most of our trek up the coast.
Yeah, it was a little chilly being right there in the bay, and the mist was so thick it was like walking through a sprinkler. Neat little marine town though!
Next is Saaaaan Fraaaaancisco...I sing that song in my head every time I think about San Fran. It was nice to see the bridge...well, kind of see the bridge, but I definitely could never live in town there. We caught the main streets, Haight & Ashbury - where hippies were born - and then the super curvy road that I forget the name of. Good thing I had my motion sickness wristbands!

| Like I said, marine mist pretty much took away the fun of the things I actually wanted to see | | . |

FINALLY - Welcome to Redding!
We stopped by a couple of the major attractions including the Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay, Whiskeytown Lake (about 15 min west of Redding), and Shasta Lake (well, a faraway view of it).

| The biggest sundial EVER |

| Shasta Dam at Shasta Lake, WAY off in the distance behind, you can see Mt. Shasta with a bit of snow! | | |

And that's a little bit of the end of my journey and the beginning of my new home...well for the next eight months anyway. Another update coming soon
PS. My birthday is Saturday, so feel free to wish me a happy, quarter of a century birthday! :)
