Interstate 5
Disclaimer: I'm a geographer so I can't help thinking this way.
Over our last decade together, Jen and I have lived in five different cities in California (including one city twice). We have never lived outside the state. In each of those places, we have always been within a short drive of Interstate 5, the highway that is the backbone of California, running through the state from the Oregon border to Mexico. Being close to I-5 has always been a comfort for me because my family lives in two pockets - one in the north and one in the south. I-5 has always been the connection between familiar places for me.
Next Monday we'll be leaving the comfort of Interstate 5 for land that is terra incognita for us. I look forward to the journey but will definitely miss the comfort of my favorite Interstate highway.
