We made it!


Here is a picture of the kids in the back a few hours before we arrived. Don't they look happy? Especially Bucky (who played the part of a footrest for most of the trip).

Okay, we actually made it a few days ago. But, I'm buried in boxes so I didn't quite get to this as fast as I should have.

Once we have things more completely unpacked, I'll take some pictures of our new home. It's pretty nice and a lot bigger than I'd expected for some reason. Once we get the kids registered for school and into a schedule, I'm sure I'll feel less like I'm totally nuts.

On the road again...

It's like the song, only I really can wait.

So, we left Georgia yesterday. Sigh....

We picked up Todd from the airport in Atlanta. For those who've never had the pleasure of picking someone up from Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, it's sort of like driving through some kind of deranged driving course full of elderly and student drivers (who may be legally blind) with a mix of shuttle bus drivers who can only believe that their performance is part of some outreach program for Nascar racing.

Not even out of the neighborhood, Julia was was already giving me advice: "Mom, don't hit any deer this time." We only saw one, and Todd was driving by then...

We got through Tennessee unscathed (Tennessee luckily decimated Georgia, or we'd probably have been pulled over for spite! Sorry to all our Georgia friends, but that score was NOT pretty!) We got into Kentucky, at which point Matthew was continually asking when we were getting to New York City. He thinks we're moving to NYC.

So, we're back on the road again in a few hours. Hopefully, it's fairly uneventful!
