Graduation

After 4 years of studying Electrical Engineering I have finally finished.  Sarah's parent's came out to help us move back to Encinitas and see my graduation.  They got here on the Thursday before and helped us pack and load up the Uhaul.

We took them to New Orleans on Saturday to eat some beignets at Cafe Du Monde and check out Bourbon Street.  They didn't seem to like the city that much with the exception of the architecture.

Sunday was my graduation and at this point the Uhaul was completely packed with the exception of a few bikes that I had to ship.  It was kinda of bittersweet to graduate as I had made a lot of good friends in Louisiana and good ties to the local bike shops.  The last 4 years were probably the best of my life, even though money was tight, we always seemed to be able to still do plenty of things.

The road trip was pretty uneventful except for the stop in Austin where we stayed at the Hotel San Jose which was a quirky little hotel in the SoCo district.  We walked down to a tex-mex place just down the street (Guero's) that was quite good.  The next day I headed down early to check out Mellow Johnny's which was fairly impressive with all the Lance memorabilia and quite a nice selection of bikes.

The rest of the trip was pretty uneventful with us stopping at Ft. Stockton, TX and Tucson, AZ for the next two nights.  It was good to finally make it back to Encinitas except for the unpacking.
