Sunday Day 1: SF - Reno, 219 miles


View Larger Map


After a late night (early morning), including a conference call at 9am, we finally got down to the business of staging all the stuff that would come on our journey. While we used to pride ourselves on "traveling light", we've realized that phrase is a very relative one when traveling with a newborn. A wise man once told me that traveling with a baby is like packing to go camping every time.

Well after all was said and done, we hit the road at 2:30pm...with the obligatory coffee stop of course ;)

We did pretty well for the first 3 hours on our way to Reno, but then encountered some very unusual and unexpected weather surprises. When we hit the foothills of the Western Sierras, we were met with sun showers, and Keira's first full-fledged rainbow (which literally looked like it ended on the highway, but then shortly after that, we hit some early season snow crossing the Sierras.

We rolled into the tasteful, neon town of Reno around 6:30pm to settle down for some dinner, drinks and a good nights rest
mmmm....neon
