On the Road

[gallery]Well the adventure has finally begun.  After a very difficult two weeks of packing and goodbyes, renting the house, then not renting the house, finally selling the mini and most awfully, saying goodbye to Layla, Ed and their family, we left, as planned on Monday May 19.  The last look at the house was far more difficult than I could ever have imagined.

We spent the first night camping in Nag's Head NC, where the only problem was that the campsite we picked out was for tents only and we had to talk the ranger out of having us pack up and move.  Then it was on to Kitty Hawk for a few hours on Tuesday.  We learned that it has only been 66 years from the Wright brothers' first flight to the first manned space flight!  Wow!

Then two ferries and an all day drive to Ocean Isle Beach to visit friends.

Two days in Ocean Isle Beach and then two days with Leon Weissman in Raleigh and then the trip really begins.

Our camper, heretofore known as Celeste is a great place to sleep and we are looking forward to spending the next three months with her.

  1. Hi kids,

    I'm glad you're finally on your way. I'm sure it was difficult those last few days before departure.

    It's great to be able to see your adventures and keep in touch. You are my Superhero friends--fighting the Mundane and Ordinary--and hopefullly, not each other. ENJOY!!!!

    Love, Ellen

  2. You know, it is not too late to turn this into a nice extended vacation and come home! I really wouldn't be mad with a, "ha ha we were just kidding, we're not moving!" :)
