Thanks for sharing. I remember being locked down outside of Austin, TX, while you were making this trip. Utterly surreal time and doing that drive at that time -- GAH. But you all seemed to have sailed through it brilliantly.
Moving cross country is normal for military kids. I well know. But the sadness, and for you to not be able to physically hug everyone, becomes joy when you get to your new home and new adventures. As for Navajo Nation being shuttered, the govt did nothing to help them. Nothing. I made over 5k masks to send to them along with gallons of sanitizer. Yes, they want to be self governing but this was a pandemic that needed controlled. A friend lives in Chinle, AZ and shared how bad things were. Just so sad. Bright side for your family was fun in the sun awaited you. As a fellow SAD person, I’d love to get out of Oregon. We do take trips to the sun as often as we can.

Yeah, it was really odd how different it was going through the Navajo nation. A completely different experience.
What a ride! Change is hard...Sending you hugs. Good luck with your move!
