Driving Mrs Rexrode

It's been over a week and a half since I last posted, how did that happen? Well, for one I had to work Thursday then pack for Fridays flight to Florida where we didn't have internet. Plus, pretty much all my time there was spent packing for the move. I did get to visit and celebrate my birthday, June 14th, with family and do some serious overeating. I ate almost all of my favorite cake, The Banana Dream from Two Jays (pic). What makes it so good is that it has so many flavors: banana bread, banana cream, chocolate, nuts,  butter cream icing and so much more ha.

We left for NY this morning and were on the road by 8. Traffic was light, the uhual is driving well, and Pup is being so good. Jen's being good too :). The biggest hiccups occurred before we left like when the refrigerator door broke off in my hand or when the washer started leaking the night before we were supposed to sell it. I never got a call from the buyer so I guess it worked out.

I'm writing this from a Best Western in Emporia, VA where we decided to spend the night after about twelve hours of driving. It has free wi-fi, allows pets, and serves breakfast in the morning. Tomorrow might not be as long but the directions get a little more complicated as we get closer to NYC.

I hope lots of friends come over tomorrow night to help us unload this beast!
