The Trip
After leaving our jobs, giving our parents a few more gray hairs, and selling/storing all of our personal belongings, we are hopping into a 2002 Jeep Wrangler with 131,000 miles on it and hitting the road! Taking the southern route, we will be stopping & staying with friends/family along the way, final destination: Northwestern CO where we will stay & work for the winter season... From there, nobody knows!

NC At Last!
11 hours spent in a car isn't your typical definition of a good time, but add in the heat that the engine of a jeep wrangler kicks off directly into the front cab area, in addition to the 90- degree east coast humidity following a hurricane that never really hit, as well as the traffic we encountered during the entire state of Virginia (which, I might add is the longest state either of us have driven thru yet), and top it all off with a still-mediocre-manual-transmission-driver, and I think you will agree that Webster has a new addition to their definition of the word Hell... so besides the cute guys we got to wave to in a neighboring jeep, the ultimate highlight of today would have to be finding a Domino's restaurant that was still open at 11pm once we had passed thru the endless miles of cornfields & pig country on empty stomachs! We arrived safe & sound at Uncle Jimmy & Aunt Libby's house and are very excited to sleep in our own individual beds in an air-conditioned room with a pool that will be calling our names when we wake up around 11... or whenever we feel like it! ;-)
