So here we are at the end of day two of our cross country journey! We started the day in Medford, OR. We were able to get up early and have everyone washed, dressed and in the car by 6am. We drove down I-5 and we had the privileged of watching the sun come up over the mountains just after we crossed the border in to California.
It was honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Hana and Ria loved it and shortly after, as she was taking pictures out of the car window, Ria told me that she now understands why people draw landscapes. Ria loves to draw, but she's never been interested in landscapes. The beauty of northern California gave her a new perspective.
We spent 11 hours driving through the mountains, the forest and the desert, seeing barely a soul. We saw more deer than I've ever seen in my life and thought I was going to have a heart attack when I almost hit a fawn. I'd seen the doe cross and was looking for the fawn, but it just blended in and then came out of nowhere. We saw Reno and Carson City, Nevada. We drove past Topaz and Mono lakes. It was wonderful. The girls and I played games and sang songs and Lilly drank everyone's water. Since John was all by himself in the car he worked on his impressions. His Dr. Doofinschmirtz is coming along nicely.
We arrived at our hotel, ordered a Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza and did some laundry. Just another day on the road for the Kerchners.
So here we are, a family of robots, in Bishop, California.
