Finally In Austin

Just arrived in Austin, TX today after a 17 hour drive, 1100 miles. I split the drive into two days. Stopped in Kansas City yesterday to visit a friend from my co-op days in Rochester, and tonight I'm chillin' at my friend's apartment. I'm pretty exhausted, but I managed to get all my driving done during the daytime of both days so I wouldn't fall asleep at the wheel. The road conditions were pretty cooperative. The light rain through Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas on Sunday kept the bugs off of my car. Today, I had clear skies through Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The only traffic I ran into was in northern Dallas due to construction.

I do miss Minnesota, but I won't miss the cold weather.

Once I close on my house on Wednesday, the new adventure will officially begin as a first time home owner.
