A 51.5 hour move

In preparation for moving to paradise we had to condense to a 6 x 12 Uhaul. This meant much use of Matt Scott's dumpster at Big O Tires and thrift store runs. My dad bought a flatbed 4 x 8 trailor around the same time that worked perfectly to haul our stuff away We had a tornado hit our town the night before we moved. A couple blocks from our house was hit as demonstrated below. Our house, our trees, and our 6 x 12 Uhaul all remained in place. A sign that it was okay to move I believe.









It turned out to be the longest road trip I have ever taken. Our kids behaved very well. It turned out to take around 51.5 hours driving. My dad helped get us to Utah and then Maranda drove most of the way to Washington.

This is what our Uhaul looked like when we unpacked it. We were greeted by stuffed animals.
