Our road trip to San Jose.... Part 2

Im back! And here to fill you in on the 2nd part of our road trip to California!

After staying with Jon's parents in Salem, we had breakfast with Jon's dad and then started our 10 hr trip to California.

Originally Jon and I decided to take turns driving...... but, that didn't work out.  When it was finally  my turn at the wheel, it was SO scary! Im not that big of a baby behind the wheel on the freeway, but all of those curves, hills and fast cars put together, really freaked me out, so Jon was amazing as usual and drove the entire 10 hrs.

We did make about 3 or 4 stops for potty breaks, gas and to walk Miley around.  Miley did pretty well on the trip, she spent half of the time on my lap, holding on for dear life, since she has car anxiety and the other half in her crate.
On the road again!
My loves!
Some of our views on the drive...
This is the way she HAD to ride in the car.  Sitting next to mommy but resting her head on daddy's hand.   So sweet!
More pretty views, pretty sure we were still in Oregon when I took all of these

Water break for the princess
Check out Mileys face! She was so happy with the sunshine and wind in her hair :)

Were almost there baby!
The drive down to San Jose wasn't too bad, but towards the end of the trip we were SO ready to be there already! It felt like time went by more slowly the closer we got to San Jose!

As we got closer to San Jose, Jon called our hotel to make sure they allowed dogs there and guess what??? They didn't! Thankfully, Jon's new manager Tom,  is awesome and owns a dog too, so he said that he would watch Miley for us while we were living in the hotel.

We arrived in San Jose at about 8:30pm and were SO exhausted! But we drove over to Tom's house to drop Miley off.  Miley and Tom's dog got along great! Thank goodness! But instead of heading straight to our hotel, what did we do? We drove to the bar down the street from Tom's house for a drink with Tom.  It was nice to relax and chill out, finally!
After 10 hours of driving, we made to California! Celebrating with some beer, pool and darts! 
We didn't hang out at the bar too long, then we headed over to our hotel, which was about 5 mins from Tom's house.

Our hotel was really cute and was our home for the next 4 days.  By the 4th day there, we were SO ready to have a place to live! Thankfully, we had a place to move in to!
