Day 1

We are off! We made it out of Silver Spring at the crack of 10am Sunday morning, despite the overflowing washing machine, the lure of a beautiful day of deck sitting, and thought that we have all the time in the world. Ms. Pepe lounged surprisingly unaware of the upcoming adventure and was scooped up by Lisa on her way out the door. We bid goodbye to our favorite neighbor Sue, and burned rubber out onto Georgia Ave.

At first, Pepe thought she'd like to take a trip:





Then she realized this was going to be a long trip:

465 miles and 8 hours and 10 minutes later, we arrived at the door of Maureen. The traffic up 95, through MD, DE, NJ, NY, CT, and MA was uneventful, unless you counted the 15 roadkills we spotted. Several raccoons, a deer, a few birds and an ugly lot of unidentified animals were scattered along the Eastern corridor.

We're spending some time visting friends and family here in New England, then we head out west. We'll keep you posted on what's next.
