After years of talking about moving out of California, I was finally able to make the move with my family. Our second son is on the way in September and we were able to get out of that state in late June. It was definitely a long time coming and we've been very happy where we are in southern WA. The thing that makes the move official isn't buying property here, it's getting my original WA state license plates registered on the Mustang:
Now I won't feel like an outsider with my California plates anymore. As an additional bonus, I have permanent registration on the Mustang since I'm using an original license plate and I'll never have to pay registration fees again!
On another note about license plates, I received a notice from the CA DMV in the mail right after I moved to notify me that my new "classic" plates that I ordered over a year ago will be ready to pick up in 8-12 weeks. Thanks CA DMV...you're so efficient.
