First Time Seeing The West Coast (Part 1)

Last week Wednesday

a little before 4am

I drove myself to Detroit Metro Airport

                               to head 

                                   to The West Coast 

                                        to visit my friend Dana

                                                       eeeekkk! :)

Here is a glimpse of my trip there:

Wednesday: 

                Took early connecting flight and landed in Texas y'all! 

                                           
                                                   Then hello Reno, Nevada

 Settled in and relaxed for a few hours at Dana's

then we drove to Virgina City, Nevada

Had a great day and dinner with Dana's family.

And enjoyed the view in their neighborhood. 

 It's something pretty special to see

since I live in Michigan.

Thursday:

We took turns driving to California.

First we had to go into the mountains to get there.

Many had to stop and put chains on their tires 

because of the snow in the mountains

We quickly went from this:

To this (stopping in Sacramento, California): 

Then we drove to San Francisco, California

Do these houses below look familiar?

(I'll give you a clue: they were in the intro to a popular TV show

in the late 80's to early 90's. )

At The Pacific Ocean

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them! 

 If I should count them, they would be more in number

 than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.

     Psalm 139:17-18 

Remember my friend Dana from THIS STORY?

And from HERE too?

Well... I've been on the other side of the country

this week visiting her (and traveling lots!)

We took a road trip from Nevada to California. 

These pictures are from yesterday

which was my first time seeing The Pacific Ocean.

God's creations are breathtaking

(more pictures to come in the days ahead ;)
