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!

North Carolina

We left Charleston and went to NC to visit with my aunt and uncle. The first day there we went for a walk around the neighborhood. I drove us around to show mike the sights. We stopped at a bar called Molly's for some cocktails and hush puppies (that I had been craving). Mike got up early the next morning and saw my uncles birds that he feeds scattered all on the front lawn. After a little more sleep we went to the beach and collected shells. Saturday late afternoon we went to my cousin Candy and Tony's for their daughter Summer's birthday party. After the party we came back to the house to relax and drink wine in the hot tub. Sunday morning before we left my uncle made us pancakes on the grill. They were served with bananas, peanut butter and syrup.....southern style :)
 P.S. I found a wine that tastes just like grapes!

Before heading home to CT we stopped in Stanford, NC to visit Mikes friends Alexia and Charlie he hasn't seen in years. They have two kids Lilly-3 and Calvin-10. Alexia made us BBQ chicken, salad and baked sweet potato for dinner. It was very yummy! After putting the kids to bed the adults played the game life. It was fun.... Mike kicked our butts! Knowing we had a long drive ahead of us for the next day we went to bed. Having a late start in the morning we got to CT at 11:00 pm Monday night.

I've noticed that Laura is slacking on her end of blogging. I do know that she is in CO, probably busy or just having fun. I will be staying in Torrington with my friend Jamie and start work on the December 1st.
