Cross-Country Trip

June 7th, 2010 and tomorrow we begin adventures again. Thank God. Life was becoming stagnant. We need this. A new start somewhere different. Good time to start blogging again. Perhaps it isn't as interesting as my last two adventures... but I'm sure I'll have something to say. (Don't I always?)

We are packing my little VW with all our worldly possessions... which really isn't much. The important stuff and the stuff that can't fit will be mailed. Once you realize you can live forever off the contents of two suitcases you don't need so much anymore. The car seems to be mostly filled with shoes and misc. kitchen supplies. We still don't have silverware. Alex has a beautiful set that he was worried about bringing on the plane from Ukraine (passed down from his mommy... don't trust airline workers) and still sits in storage there. He doesn't want to buy new silverware because we have that, but I refuse to use plastic forks for the next year or two.

Tomorrow we drive to Buffalo. I keep wanting to say we shuffle off to Buffalo but I'm resisting. We're camping by Niagra Falls which is kind of exciting. Alex is dying to see it. I've seen it about 35 times, American and Canadian sides, so I'm not so enthusiastic. I want to get the first leg of the trip over with... the east I've done... and get right to that section in the middle of the country where people vote Red (Alex commented the other day when someone mentioned a Red State that it sounds to him like they're voting communist. Ah the irony.)!

I have internet in some of the campgrounds we're staying in (Did I mention we're camping?) so I can blog from there if I feel so inclined. Which I very well may not. Depends on how long are days are.

Check back... Gotta go finish packing that car.
