| Mountain goats in 70 through Colorado |
It's official! We left Chicago on the 17th and stayed with our wonderful friends Andrew and Lisa in Kansas City, MO. A night in a hotel in a tiny mountain town off 70 in Colorado and a 15 hour drive later and we arrived at the hotel in Ventura, CA on Tuesday.
We spent Wednesday enjoying the town's local highlights (specifically the amazing eateries, Nature's Grill and Tony's Pizzeria). Thursday morning, with a blanket of fog and a nice breeze off the ocean, Thomas headed down the road. My excitement for him and the experiences ahead of him is curbed only by wish to be on my way as well. I'll be spending this week with my family in Marin County, CA before I take off on the 28th toward my first farm in New Mexico.

For now I'll have to appease my restlessness by chasing my 6 and 4 year old nieces around the playground and posting up the pictures I took of Thomas' last day and departure. I've put a few here, and you can see the rest on the right side of the page in my Flickr feed.

Thanks for the pictures Whit! It was good for me to see Thomas. I smiled when I read the caption under the picture "dorky boyfriend" - I think I know where he got his "dorkiness" from!
