Road Trip '09

Last week, we started our journey of driving to Philadelphia.  Instead of making it one really long day, we split it up and made it a little trip to visit friends and family on the way.  It was a lot of driving but it seemed to go by pretty fast and we had a great time hanging out together in the car.  We love road trips! 

1st stop- Charlotte, NC.  
We spent a night with Kristen and all the Cofield clan.  I love Charlotte.  It is one of those cities I think I would like to live in and John had never been before.  It was fun to visit with all the Cofields since we do not get to see them as much since they moved from Bham.  And Shannon (who has more connections than anyone I know) had a friend giving away her glider from her nursery.  So, we also got a precious white, FREE glider for the baby's room.  I will have to put a pic up of that later.  

2nd stop- D.C. 
We headed to DC Thursday for two nights.  We did not do tons of tourist adventures because we had both been to DC and it rained most of the time (as you can see below).  We were able to visit with several friends we had not seen in a long time.  We ate lunch with Anne in the Senate Cafeteria one day- which has great food by the way.  We stayed with another friend of mine from Auburn, Melissa.  And we went to dinner one night with Jared and Belen, who live in Arlington.  Jared and Belen had a baby in December and so we got to meet James too! We had so much fun seeing people here that we probably could have stayed many more days! 
    
Sorry, we were not great about taking pictures the whole trip.  



3rd Stop- Horsham, Pennsylvania 
Last but certainly not least, we arrived Saturday right outside Philly where John is working for the summer.  We got him unpacked and settled in about an hour!  It was such a breeze compared to all those times of moving me back to Auburn.  We spent the rest of Saturday and Sunday hanging out and exploring the area mainly.  John was able to show me where he works and his office.  Many of you have been asking about him and so I will let him tell more about his job and the area.  He has promised to make his first blogpost very soon...so stay tuned!
