Because it's funny, that's why.

before the cross-country move, alexander was worried about what we would do with his cactus. naturally, we took it along as a traveling companion and documented its cross-country journey.



stormy skies at a wyoming crossroads.

re-thinking this whole "balance a cactus on my head" thing.
the rolling hills of pennsylvania. this was one of the prettiest parts of the drive. also the raniest.

maybe somewhere in indiana? sadly, we didn't eat at the country fixin's restaurant.

ah, holiday inn express, how i love thee...that is until i realized i left my pillow here.

leaving iowa. thank goodness. onto nebraska...not much better.

we stopped for gas one million times.

iowa cornfields and sunny skies.
westward ho! driving into the sunset. and driving...and driving...

jakes's totally gonna get lucky tonight.

the pioneers loved their cacti and traditionally carried one in every handcart.

wait...is this the same picture of jake with the cactus getting gas? nope, it's different.

the cactus, feeling particularly parched, contemplates a refreshing dip in the pool.

cactus is here. (council bluffs historic site.)

i preferred the "holding the cactus on my head" thing.
