California girls!

We made it! 

After spending another day driving through the desert, Alicia and I spent New Year's Eve in Tucson last night, bar hopping down 4th Ave and making new friends! We rang in the new year with a lot of other out-of-towners (because most people living in Tucson aren't actually FROM there at all!). 

Today we spent five short hours in the car, during which time we drove through mountains, sand dunes, AND snow, all in a brief 400 miles! Off-roading on the dunes is definitely on my list of things to do while out west! San Diego greeted us with fantastic weather and of course, characteristic of our trip, a bang... our key to the house didn't work! Turns out that the key was a bad copy, so after alarming the neighbors with our attempts to jam the key into any possible hole and trying all of the windows, Beth was able to save the day (all the way from Maryland!! Thanks, B!!) and get someone out to the house to let us in and give us a new key :-)  Getting into the house was soon overshadowed by some AWESOME fish tacos.. sorry Maryland, you're already losing the food battle. 

And so begins a new chapter of our trip... Alicia and Laur take San Diego... after a nap... or maybe tomorrow.
