Travel Day 1!

I am writing to you now from a comfy hotel bed (don't worry - it's bed bug free - I checked!) at a Hampton Inn in Winchester, Virginia! Mom and Dad and I arrived safely here around 5:30...we finally left Concord around 10:30. As soon as we tried to pull out of the driveway we realized the van battery was dead (we probably left one of the doors open during packing)...but it was no big deal, we just jumped it and rolled on!

The drive up was fine...a little bit windy through the Virginia mountains and just a little bit of rain. We got take out Italian here in the hotel for dinner (...yuck!) and are planning on leaving here by 9 in the morning to get to Syracuse between 3-4pm! Here are some pictures of how full the cars are with all of my stuff! I find it pretty crazy that it takes 2 cars to carry all of my stuff!!!

For those of you who don't know, we just got a 2001 GMC Jimmy for me to have in Syracuse. It's really nice and is 4 wheel drive and has a lot of space to carry all of my stuff :) Enjoy the pics and remember that I won't be able to blog our first several days in Syracuse, but I'll catch you up as soon as I can!

Have a great rest of your weekend!
Allison




The Jimmy/"Dennis":





"Mom! Get the camera and take a picture of the Virginia welcome sign!!! But I'm not gonna slow down - I'm gonna keep going 80 mph in the passing lane!"

And here I thought you were just bringing SOME of what you had to Syracuse. It's a good thing you didn't have to bring a bed or anything ... :-)

I miss you!!! Hope you are loving your new house that you get to live in... you should have gotten the keys today! I will call you tonight hopefully!!!
