We had an excellent send off gathering last night in Brattleboro. Great to see everyone and have some fun competition on the dart board and the ring game. Thanks Lori, Nelson, Rebecca, Micah, Emily, Franklin, Leslie, Nikki for hangin' out...we'll miss you guys!
Our first full day on the road, and by full, we mean 15.5 hours of driving. Up at 3:30am to fill the Thermos with joe, in the car by 4am. We headed across VT, caught sunrise amidst a snow storm on the NY Thruway, and made it to Cleaveland for a late lunch. We pushed hard to make it to Chicago by 7:30, then had a great dinner with our amazing friend Josh. Looking forward to a good night's sleep and a good breakfast before jumping back into the car to head to Lawrence, KS tomorrow.
Some highlights of the day.....Seeing sunrise and sunset. Emily's mysterious hives. Liz trying desperately not to blow out the clutch....and Em white-knuckling the door handle while coaching her. Quizzes covering each state's motto, population, and square mileage (we were getting a little loopy at this point). Em rocking the Chicago traffic with passengers, kayak, and 2 bikes making it safely despite crazy drivers and many not-so-nice road rage comments. Melt in your mouth steak dinner and Fat Tire brews. Lots of birds....that definitely weren't ravens.
