Tinkerbell loves road trips. Even before we were done packing the car, she was ready to go!


After allowing ourselves a really nice night's sleep, Jeannie and I got on the road at exactly 10am this morning.

This sign is located on 1-70 before the turn-off for Columbia Maryland. I have always wanted a photo of it since you never see signs listing cities when the mileage is THAT far away.


Jeannie actually drove all day. She wouldn't let me relieve her once. I wonder if it's because she's ridden in a car with me before? :-)


Here are some photos of what we mainly saw today...






Tinkerbell spent most of her driving day lounging on her perch between Jeannie and I. Rough life, huh?


And I split my day between doing some practical things, like navigating, tracking our progress and making a list of things I need to accomplish while on the road.


However, I also documented the funny things we said--I have a whole page!

Today's winner is:
There's going to be a van sandwich up there and if we don't slow down and move over, we're going to be the toothpick.
--Leah to Jeannie when two lanes merged and one lane had a passenger van oblivious to two semi-trucks coming into its lane.

Tune in tomorrow when who knows what will happen!

You do know the best thing about posting this blog is, that when you print the pictures and go to scrapbook it, your journaling is DONE!! And we all know how much you love the journaling part. :-)

Wish I was with you! Drive safe and continue to have fun!!

Leah, it was just this side of two weeks ago that I was making my way through WV. I have to say I am in love. I think it has to be the prettiest state I have been to/been through so far. Even if WV ended up eating one of my vehicles... A story I can share with you at a later date :)
