We made it most of the way through Pennsylvania, which gives us a very manageable 6 hr drive to make tomorrow.
Indiana and Ohio all basically looked the same, landscape wise. We stopped for lunch at a Wendy's in mid Ohio which I was very allergic to. I think everybody in there having lunch had just been out taking care of their livestock. Which is perfectly ok except that I'm like deathly allergic to horses, and probably cows as well. We ate in the car.
It's been SO cold on this trip. It's very unseasonably cold in the midwest right now, I'm not sure why. And it's cold out east here too--maybe not unseasonably, I don't know. What I do know is that we packed all the wrong clothes. So we're cold. But we're almost there, so that's ok.
The Pennsylvania landscape is very pretty. There are rolling hills, rivers, little valleys and lots of trees. So far it's been really fun to drive through. This drive is long, but it helps that we get to see so many different states. Especially a LOT of states we've never seen before at all.
Here's Kris filling up the incredibly huge tank on the truck. It's a diesel. As you might imagine, gas for this trip has been quite the expense. Bad time to move across the country, right? Oh well.
We may not have internet for a while--we don't have it set up at the new house yet. So I'll post more if I can, otherwise I'll just have to leave you in suspense!
Oh, and to my friends concerned with my driving safety, don't worry. I'm about the scardiest driver that there is. I just pick up the camera, and let it take it's own pictures. I'm not driving down the road looking through the viewfinder, ok? :)
Pretty, huh?

cant wait until you make it to RI!
In this last shot - the green. The deep green and the dark sky - this is what I remember of the east. Out here, the color is spare - why I love May in our yard, that drenched, effortless velvet green - but only one month. After that, the stretched, parched color of high desert, of things that can't live without the hand of God, shaking drops of water down from time to time.
I didn't even think about your driving. I should have.
Ginna and Kris
Our hearts are with you as we follow the little caravan on it's way back east
Dad
