Day 1 on the road

Hello friends and family!!

Today was the first day on the road. Scott, Turkey (my bunny), and I le
ft at a very prompt time of 1:30 PM. OK, without the sarcasm now, I was a little mad at myself for letting some packing wait until the last minute, but it could also be a good thing that we didn't have a huge drive on our first day... We hit I 80 around 5 PM and stopped at a Super 8 Motel at 10 PM. Our locale is Richfield, Ohio, near Cleveland.

I drove today, and found it pretty easy to adapt. Give more space for turns, longer break time, yadda yadda. There were a couple showers, but I was ready since Marc (my weatherman boyfriend - SO
convenient) warned me earlier.

Scott and I went through four CDs and had a lot of laughs today. I'm really glad that we get along so well and I couldn't ask for a better brother, or friend. That said, I hope we don't get on each other's nerves too much during the trip!!

Turkey thinks that we are at our new home... sorry fur ball.

It's time for me to be hitting the sack. I apologize for my first post being so lackluster but you could give me some credit for that adorable picture (and it was from my phone!!) As you can imagine, I didn't sleep much last night because of the excitement. I'm not sure when I'll be able to update again, but I'll be sure to keep a record.

Much love,

Carol

Hey, Carol! I'm glad to hear your first day went well with your brother and Turk-man! Take as many pictures as you can on the way, that one of Turkey is great!

I'll be sure to keep you posted on the weather along the way, too. My mom was reading your blog, and she said "What? She called you a 'weatherman'?? You studied too hard to be called a 'weatherman!'" Haha! She also wishes you the best on your move.

Good luck on your drive, and if you need anything along the way just give me a call.

Carol, your Dad shared your pictures with me. What beautiful scenery, not to mention the experiences you and your brother are having together. I don't think I would have been so daring to drive that big truck.
Happy trails to you..............
