We're here!

Just a quick update, because it's nearly 3 am/6 am depending on which time zone you follow.  We're in Hermosa Beach, at our friends' house, after a marathon session of driving.  Our itinerary looked like this:

Sunday - Hobart, Indiana to approximately Sullivan, Missouri, pulled in to campsite around midnight. 

Monday - Sullivan, MO to Branson, MO where we met Dan's parents for dinner.  Followed by a scenic route through the Ozarks back to I-40.  Realizing we wanted to get to LA by Wednesday evening, and had a lot of mileage to cover, and were still essentially in the Midwest, we decided to drive through the night and into the next day.  Also, Dan discovered Braum's Ice Cream. States covered on Monday: Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. 

Tuesday - New Mexico and Arizona, as far as Winslow, where we found a nice state park to camp.  It got quite cold at night, and the sky was so clear we could easily see the Milky Way.  Also, we had s'mores made with dark chocolate.

Wednesday - Arizona and California.  We crossed the Mojave Desert.  Very windy, and mountainous.  And now we're in LA.  Photos etc to follow tomorrow.
