From Sea to Shining Sea

Not very many people can say that they have driven across the United States.  However, I have done it twice!  Just this year! My dad took off time from work and we took our time seeing as much as we could along the way.  It really helped to break up all the driving. We did the drive in 8 days with stops to see family members and a little break to celebrate Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania.

 

We started by packing the car in Huntington Beach, CA, then off we went to the beach so we really could say we went from "sea to shining sea", Pacific to Atlantic.

 

 

Each day along the way I made little collages of our trip.  It was a good way to document our travels.

 

I am so thankful to my dad for driving with me...it would have been super boring to drive all that way alone!  We had such a wonderful time seeing National Parks, landmarks, singing in the car, snacking and even just sitting in silence.  Thanks Dad!  Here are some memories from our trip!
