Well, just about into laconia. We're in Tilton now.

Special request:

Mom... Zachary would like some of your peanut butter fudge. =)

Connecticut

Yep.. Grabbing lunch in Connecticut..almost there!

And yes, phone is dead.. Will charge it once I can find my car charger!

Day 4

Almost time to go..

In the business center printing out directions for the next part of our journey.. almost the last part of our journey.. it's kind of "cold" out today. Yes, most of you define cold much differently than I, however my shower gel, when retrieved from the car this morning, was almost frozen. Yes, I would definitely define that as cold.

The children get to experience/re-experience a new phenomenon this morning. Yes, today's travel is sponsored by Wind Chill. Although it's really about 50 degrees out I think, it will be more like 40 once we are outside. It's very windy. Anyhow, printing done. Need to get gas, and back onto the highway!

Till soon or sooner. =)

Getting settled in Virginia

Made it to the hotel almost sans incidents. Literally 500 feet from the hotel there was an accident which backed up traffic almost an hour. Ugh.

Going out to dinner now.. Morning tasks before Charles awakens: new wipers for both cars and three girls escaping for much needed spa pedicures and a little pampering. =)

Almost out of North Carolina

About 40 miles to go till Virginia.. in a rest stop. Our first actual "rest stop".

Wow

Leaves actually change color here.. Getting closer to seasons!!

Sad

Sad news.. After too few years, my parents cats are gone.. Poor Cako, only 13 years, got put down last Thursday because of bad complications with her diabetes. And this morning they found out that Salem, who was ten, had really bad cancer and they didn't know it. Now he is gone, too. =( 

Your kitties are with Nana now!

Settling in for the night.

Well, we made it. We travelled thru Florida across I-4 (from exit 11 to the very end) and up I-95. We're supposed to be on this road for 600-something miles. Oh, and the traffic conundrum between I-4 and I-95 we experienced earlier? Apparently those silly Hazmat folk were busy cleaning up a helium or propane spill.

Just an observation but from what we've seen the entire state of Georgia is under construction.. Driving between the concrete walls in the once-there-were-4-and-now-there-are-2-lanes as the road lane shifts unexpectedly from side to side. Every two minutes it changes the speed limits but the locals all still seem to go about 80.

Anyhow, tomorrow we travel from Savannah, Georgia to RIchmond, Virginia - starting to fall asleep! Till soon!!

We are in georgia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Dabby:

I wiil miss you all but today is my moving day and I am happy .

From Trin:

Hi everybody! I miss you guys. On sunday I am going to arrive in new hampshire! Well if you can write to me Bie
