Day 3

This is a late update due to traffic around Toledo. We were stuck for a couple of hours on the interstate on Day 3 after a truck shed it's load :-(

However we made it to Lancing MI and had a wonderful stay with Ruthie's Aunt and Uncle (Sue and Steve) where we also got to see Ruthie's Grandmother Davis and her cousins David & Claire - thanks for a great stay!

Day 3

Good morning!

Day 2

This was one of the longer days. We started in Vermont and just hauled our way through New York, phew! A few lessons learned:

1) My snack requirements equal 2 small boys and a mother
2) Just because the kids are quiet/asleep do not be tempted to pass that break stop
3) Driving out of a big storm, and seeing its edges, is very cool
4) Sticking two large neon orange signs, reading "Portland, OR Bust" attracts the attention of the state troopers
5) When you update the GPS make sure you have enough space (We will have maps again when we reach Ohio)

Tomorrow is a shorter day and starts with swimming! Michigan, seems like a dream to me now, but soon to be real...

Day 2

Away we go

We'll that took a little longer than expected. I am sad to say good bye to the house our babies took their first steps in but we're away and we just got an offer for the house! So no going back now.

As far as blogging goes; twice a day may have been over ambitious.

Goodbye Pepperell, hello Vermont and the open road!
