I made it to Houston last night without any problems. The flights were smooth and on-time (not bad for Friday the 13th!!), and Omer picked me up at the airport.

The drive from Amarillo to Colorado Springs was an easy one. We stopped at a Burger King for lunch (to appease Kenny) and arrived in C...

Quote of the day: "Patty... I love you, but it's past lunch time." -Joab A good first day, although we barely fed the children (or ourselves). Left the house around 8:30am. It felt weirdly normal. We decided to take the scenic route out of Massahusetts, which was great and awful. It was a nice setting for the kids first journal entries. Arrianna wrote about the Boy's incessant talking and suggested leaving him on the side of the road with a sign, "Free Kid: Beware". We drove past some beautiful swamps, rivers, and little villages. Joab liked pointing out "dilapidated" houses and barns along th...
