How do you sum up a 9 day trip in a full Penske truck from Lancaster, PA to LA, California?
3000 miles, $1200 in gas, St. Louis, Denver, Vegas, Laguna Beach, Surf Lessons, the Dressden (if you know the movie Swingers, you'll know the Dressden), Cuban Bistro, Hanging with the Smith's, meeting fantastic new people, and we haven't even finished off the week yet. We still have beach volleyball and another possible surprise, before hanging out with Alex one of the man men from the ultra cool band "Five O'clock People."
One word... Epic. I've read and am working in re-reading John Eldridge's little book with a huge message with that same title/theme of "Epic." I can't even put into words how crazy, amazing, and grace filled this trip has been. God's hand was watching over us the whole way, the weather was absolutely perfect. It only rained for 10 minutes the entire trip out here. Jason and I commented back and forth several times about how amazing our country is. To go from the flat rolling greens of Kansas to the insane mountains of Colorado to the dessert of Nevada was absolutely mind blowing. The US is freakin' huge. You need to put driving across the U.S. via Route 70 and Route 15 North on your list of things you have to do before you die. The scenery is awesome. I am hoping to have a short video/slideshow available within a week or so. Stay posted.
