Day 1

The movers showed up at about 8:30am and finished packing our belongings.  Maddie seemed to be fasinated by all the taping, wrapping and moving.  She joined in as much as she could.ImageImage












Then at around 2pm everything was loaded and we said good bye to Crystal Towers.  After a quick stop for lunch, we were on the road.  At the time of departure, it was 75 degrees in DC, a record high.

Today we passed through Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Maddie had a hard time sleeping after all the excitement so we were all happy to see our hotel just outside of Pittsburgh.

So glad you are safe and "arrived" as Annie reports it. Hopefully you can get into your apartment soon. Loved the pictures; especially of Maddie at the Badlands! CHEERS!

Thanks for keeping a journal Kris. It's always great to hear things from your perspective. Good luck to you guys in Portland! But Makenzie River sandwich better than Rib and Chop? You should have had the rib eye.

Wow. It looks like you are having a marvelous time on the road. I hope Maddie is cooperating!! I loved the pictures of Mt. Rushmore and Devil's Tower. It brought back memories of our RV road trip with our kids. I look forward to your daily pictures. Enjoy!

Wow, the world famous, world renowned Corn Palace! Wait wait...does having a 3 minute blurb about something on "Unwrapped" on the Food Network make something world famous and/or world renowned? I'm still jealous 'cause it looked pretty cool when I saw said blurb.
Glad you're having a safe trip, even though we still have our fingers crossed that you'll turn the car around and come back, returning to the desk that is still as you left it (Scott did the pilfering, not me).
Only 75 MPH speed limits? That must have been some federal funding if the governor was willing to trade in freedom from speed limits for it.
Take care and drive safe!

Hey There Kris, Gen and Maddie!

What a great site, you young people are so cluey on this computer stuff.

Grams and Gramps called us today to let us know you made it to Livingston. I am sure your Mom and Dad are very excited to have you there.

Please know that you have another family connection coming up so if you run into any problems, etc. please give us a call.

Dana and I were in Portland the weekend after Thanksgiving for the lighting ceremony at the Grotto. We had a great room at the Red Lion at Jantzen Beach. It was about 800 square feet. Probably much like you all are staying in these days! We love Portland and hope to visit you guys there in the future.

Our prayers and blessings!

Sounds like a good trip, I particularly liked the entry on South Dakota. You know, it's not too late to come back. We still have your desk as you left it (well, except for the minor pilfering). No? Ok then, well, drive safe.

Dear Gen & Kris,
Please stop at a store to get Maddie one of those neck supports for her sleeping. She looks as if she's in a deep sleep - but oh, those neck muscles.... Love, Mom
P.S. Love the photos and the website
