Still on the road

Oliver is ready to get out of the car and luna's sleeping pills are wearing off but we are having a fine time.  We are some where in western PA and hoping to make it into Ohio tonight.  So far no snow just rain.

T minus one week and counting

Well gang, our year-long adventure in New York is coming to a close. We officially have one more week left. Here's a rundown of that week, I'll do my best to ramp up on the blog and keep the dream alive for a little while longer.

  • Monday - Wednesday: Packing, packing, packing!
  • Thursday: Movers come and haul our stuff away
  • Thursday - Sunday: We move to Manhattan. We are staying there because I have access to an apartment with a couple of beds. We are staying through Sunday because the boys' last piano recital is Sunday.
  • Monday: We drop Kebs off at JFK, and we hit the road!!
We plan on cramming as much as possible in these last few days. Post a comment if you can think of anything we absolutely must see or do before we leave!

DC

Another blog from Kristal! So it won't be nearly as informative as Andrew's blogs.
On Nov. 5th we took a quick trip down to DC. By the time we got out of the house and fought though 4 hours of traffic to get to DC we had only a few hours of daylight left.

Here are the boys and I in front of the capitol building.


Andrew checking directions to the Monuments. We thought we had a great parking spot but it turned out we were over a mile away from everything we wanted to see.

The Washington Monument looking like it was so close! Yet it was so far!


The guys standing in the WWII Memorial.



Damion and Miles found their favorite state.


Miles was trying to make it look like he was holding the Washington Monument.

Our visit fell the day after Barack Obama won the election. This was a giant letter to him. It was at the base of the Lincoln Memorial.

At the Lincoln Memorial.








Miles took this picture of us chilling on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.


You wouldn't believe how many shots it took to finally get us all in the shot!


Obama's new house!!


Andrew will be back soon to do an update of our following adventures!!
