Southern Comfort Part 1: Not Quite in the South

The first part of road trip has been great. We started out Thursday morning - making our drop dead time to get out the door. A baby makes that process much longer!

Our first stop was Mt. Joy, PA. One of Jack's Great Grandmothers (Jenn's paternal Grandmother) live there. The ride went well. Along the way, we introduced Jack to Chick-fil-a. Life will never be the same. :)

The visit in Mt. Joy was great. Grandma Lyn and Jay were ecstatic to meet Jack. I've included some pictures below.

We unfortunately couldn't stay too long as we had booked a hotel in Virginia for the night. Even more unfortunate, we didn't realize that our GPS system had a setting to avoid toll roads. Our little tour through Harrisburg added 30 minutes we would have loved to have back! Along the way, Jack did celebrate crossing the Mason-Dixon Line - he felt his Southern roots growing. :)

Our overnight stop was in Harrisonburg, Va - home of James Madison University. We arrived around 9 pm which felt like 3 am. Jack slept great (6.5 hours straight!!!).

Friday, we finished our final leg to Greensboro. The drive down I-81 and US 220 takes you through the mountains of Virginia. It is a much prettier route than I-95 and I-85. Much prettier. We made it to Greensboro mid-afternoon - again, couldn't be happier to be off the road!

More to come in Part 2.

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.
