Belated day 4 update: we made it to Florida and were greeted with three days of thunderstorms (more thunder than we heard the whole time we were in LA). We are both readjusting to life with humidity (pray for us).

Day 3/4: breakfast tacos in Texas & po' boys in Louisiana. Freddie mauled the plants a little before settling in, but I think they'll make it.

We made it to Texas! Fred decided he wanted to sit up front (this is why he has a seatbelt).

And today we started the Big Move East! We've landed for the evening at the cutest little desert motel and it is toasty out. Stay tuned for more pics of road-trip-Fred.

Now seems like a good time for a #TimelineCleanse

Please enjoy this pic of Fred, ready for our cross-country move four years ago.

Thank God he still likes the car bc we're gearing up for the move back east!
