Oh, Baby!

We have made it to North Carolina! After a short, bonus visit with Tom, who was working in the DC area, Doug and I hustled South to spend these last few days with Wendy, Jon and Claire. It is ridiculous how we spend every moment doing 'baby stuff' - making faces, rolling on the floor, bouncing her on our knees. We did bask in some relative warmth at the Duke Gardens and Doug biked the American Tobacco Trail. Tomorrow it is on to the Okefenokee Swamp via the back roads of Georgia.

Escaping Winter

Same song, second verse. We are about to fly this cozy coop, and take another trip cross country. Once again we are stuffing our minimal belongings into the car, testing the oh-so-comfy air mattress and mapping out a blue highway route. We hope to take more time in the small towns along the way, stopping at the smallest churches, snapping pictures of the water towers shaped like fruits, and sitting on bar stools getting a flavor of the place. Blast-off is scheduled for the end of the month!
