Amazing. For Music Lovers.

If you don't have time -- or don't enjoy -- the whole thing, fast forward to about he 5 minute mark. I promise you won't be disappointed. It is absolutely unbelievable. I love his facial expressions at 5:28.....

Almost there

The last.
Grueling.
Hour.

Thanks 30 min accident in Va.

Virginia--yay!

Slated to be home about 6:30...sleeping in our own beds tonight.

Rolling through the hills, Belles are ALL asleep -- much needed for all of us. Them sleeping that is. Overcast day, which is nice to keep the glare down.

Over halfway home, sigh.

Big hugs to all, even those we didn't see. We thought of you too.

FYI

Jelly Beans at 9:30 am is okay -- I have determined mental health trumps dental health on a long car trip.

Off the turnpike cruising along!

Look closely

Needed about 20 layers of pink lipgloss. I guess it's dry in here.

OHIo

1Belle sleeping, 1Belle awaking hungry, and 1Belle complaining of a large canine blocking her view of the DVD. Said canine has yet to relax, and prefers to half lay on ClaraBelle, probably outweighing her nearly 3:1.

Just entered Ohio, but looking forward to the mountain views...in about 5 hours. No offense Ohio.

On Our Way

11minutes into our Southbound journey, the Belles are wishing we could stay, missing all already. I'm encouraging them all to fall back to sleep, mostly so that I can. I'll write more next hour, hopefully the sun will be shining on our way.

24 hours later

A good sleep done, a mysterious fever come and gone, and we'll be in loving arms before most of you even read this.

But it is pouring rain.

End in sight...for tonight

About 45 mins left and we will relax for the day. Well, sort of. To be honest, I've been relaxed all day. Nobody climbing on me, no arguing to really speak of (thank you third row seat), sounds like a good way to end things.

Shhhhhh

Silent Night on the radio, silent car....

We are going strong! 7 hours into our adventure, and so far I'm impressed!

I must add, that the entire way the car has stunk. It smells like dog. Seeing as Scooby has a freshly washed bed, and isn't terribly smelly himself, I thought his nerves were causing him to let off some odd funk. Come to find out, it's Greta's boots! Her Ugg-like boots with that fuzzy lining are reek-diculous!!! It's almost more than my sensitive nose can stand.

Part 5?

Forgive if my counts are off... I've lost track.
Driving past WVa Capitol building...just finished our lunch stop. The Garmin has us just over halfway...for today. Phew. I'm enjoying myself immensely, but can logically predict frustrations in a couple of hours.

Part 4

Tunnel number two complete,
Welcome to West Virginia!

Christmas music on the XM, and beautiful mountains. Girls opened their dry erase crayons, Hadley is looking at her photo album, all are munching a snack of Cheerios.

Yes, they're asking how much longer, but to be expected I suppose. Just about for a DVD I think.

Adventure hour 3

I don't know if/when these are posting, so someone tell me via email.
We're about 20 minutes out of NC and enjoying some farm scenery in the mountains, or foothills to the mountains at least.

Mountains

Passing by Pilot mountain--that thing in the distance--and see more ahead. Sunny skies, good day for a drive.

On Our Way!

Let the Adventure begin! 2 hours I. And I think we are all finally settled in. I'm encouraging some shut eye, or at least some quiet time, and offering the first present in about an hour. Stay tuned!
