Move to California on Film

Flashback to our move to California. The film that came along on the journey finally got developed. I enjoyed seeing these photos in August and remembering the fun we had on our looong drive from St. Louis to California way back in February. I hope you enjoy, too. :)

Our old parking lot, and the little pod that carried all of our stuff for us!

A selfie, my little car, loaded with Podcasts, pandas, caffiene, a gnome named Norm, and a few bags of cameras. :)

Wife in a cute little red bug!

Break time... stretch, walk, pet the cat. (Look close, Kim is in her car chatting with Zoe.)

A pit stop in Texas to see the "Cadillac Ranch".

I think this may be my favorite photo from the whole drive. The perfect use of a little three lens plastic camera and a bunch of Texas Cadillacs stuck in the ground!

Norm says Hi!

Family photo, minus Zoe, plus Norm.

California! Still a long way from the ocean, though!

All photos made with Superia 400 using cute little plastic cameras - an Ultra Wide Slim and Robocam (three lens). Developed by Alpine. 

Oklahoma to Arizona

Day two... more photos were taken today because of the incredible boredom one feels while driving through a wintery southern landscape for hours on end. We departed Oklahoma City bright and early and rolled into a dreary Texas with sleep still in our eyes.

We managed to stay on course for most of our journey, despite knowing that there were many things and places we could have stopped and seen. This one place was a must-see though. Some old Cadillacs are planted in the ground and are frequently tagged by people with spray paint cans. 

Welcome to Cadillac Ranch.

Back on the road! We swapped places and Kim took the lead for awhile.

Texas to New Mexico...

It was pretty cool to see the landscapes change as we drove. Things went from brown to colorful, flat to bumpy, bland to colorful.

A pit stop to check on the beast...

New Mexico to Arizona...

I appreciate that the sign says to bring your cameras.

And as we got close to our resting point for the night, the sunset decide to put on a show. It was beautiful.
