Grace--I'm in the Sacramento area. If you friend me, I'll give you my phone number for just in case. That is a very long drive from WA (I'm originally from the portland area, so I've made the i-5 trek numerous times), do you have overnight lodging plans at those stops you mentioned? I'm guessing from your picture that you are a Navy wife, are you moving for duty station purposes?

Grace, I'm hoping by now you've made it to your destination and the old adage 'no news is good news' applies. I thought of you often and prayed for your safety and for traveling mercies over the weekend. Best wishes to you as you settle into your new home.
