Drywalling a bathroom, then to Alcatraz!
This weekend was a blur. I’m sure you’re so sick of hearing about the house that we’re selling, but that’s pretty much all we do now and this is a lifestyle blog, so I am writing about it. This weekend we tore out the basement bathroom, which means we tore down the walls to re-drywall them with fresh new drywall, we tore out the vanity and the shower. Jared and I did the bathroom on our own, he tore it all out Friday and Saturday we both measured, cut and hung up all the drywall. We have done quite a few updates on our own home, so we have a pretty good grip on what to do and make a quick and efficient team! We really are almost down to the wire, we want to have the house listed by the time we go on our road trip, which is only 3 weeks out.Here's a photo from mid-project. We had torn everything out, but hadn't done the drywall yet. It was quite the job.
Speaking of our Road Trip, we also are starting to make progress with that. Until yesterday the only thing we had done was that we had our 1 way tickets to San Francisco purchased. Now, we have our tickets from Portland back home bought as well! This Road Trip is going to be so bad ass! While Jared, Josh, Kim and I keep planning, I get more and more excited.
We also purchased tickets to tour Alcatraz the day after we fly in. I’ve done the tour before, but no one else has. I’m way excited to go back and to share this experience. The Alcatraz tour was one of my favorite things we did, the first time I went to SF with my dad.

We also decided the day we fly in, we are going to go to 6 flags right outside of SF, so we are starting to have some plans set in stone. We aren’t going to charter out each day, we want the ability to be spontaneous, however, we want to make sure that we do purchase the things in advance that we know we want to do, so we don’t miss out!
I’d still love any opinions on where to stay, must see places, what to eat while we are on our road trip. We are going up the Coastal Highway from San Francisco to Portland!
