Quick check-in, Day 7 end

Just a quick post cause there's a comfy bed calling me.  We made it safely to Albuquerque after 13 hours of travel time.  We've had a hot homemade meal and showers and we're going to sleep so hard.

Day 6 end

So, another update now that I am comfortably nestled on a comfy couch.  On day 5 we did the drive from Cincinnati to Saint Louis, a long dull drive through Indiana and Illinois.  the mid-west we're finding on average is really, really boring!

Day 5 end

No big post tonight, too tired.  This Motel 6 is a little scary.

Indiana

Indiana is flat, it's empty, it's boring. The highway is in fact so flat that we're seeing water mirages. If someone tells you that Indiana is a fun place to go to, don't believe their lies.

Day 4, finally headed west.

So!  Today was our first really long haul day.  We started out at 7:30 am in Virginia, and did a morning video some of you may have seen:

Day 3 check in, the relax day

So not a huge post today as we spent the say mostly just relaxing, which is going to be a rare treat.  Our day started out with snow and homemade cinnamon rolls courtesy of our host!

Day 2 is over

We're relaxing at our friends apartment, watching the snow fall, so I thought it was time for a summary of the trip so far.

Cades log, day 2

We have arrived in Annandale Virginia!

Lav and I are getting some lunch at a bagel place across the street from Toastdieb's office, while he finishes up with work for the day. It's really super cold ( sign says 9° ) so we're full coat, scarf, and hat here. Nice and warm inside though, so we're going to hang out here for a little bit longer.

The snowstorm is rolling in, and it's expected to begin snowing in a few hours now, but the roads are already prepped, there's salt and sand everywhere so I'm confident since we are leaving in two days instead of tomorrow we will be OK to begin driving west. It does mean though that we are probably going to have to abandon the idea of getting Atlantic water as a souvenir, which bums me a little but whatever, that just means we'll have to get some next time we're east coast.

There will be edits and pictures later tonight, movie posting is hard! Haha!

Sorry it's only a link, hard to embed from the car.

Cades log, day 1

Whoo! We are live!

We made it all the way from my parents place in Chamblee Georgia to Durham North Carolina in one day!

That's pretty great because it means we are actually ahead of schedule! Tomorrow we head into Annandale  Virginia to meet up with Toastdieb! Today was supposed to be in stone mountain park, but the weather was going to be really rough, so this is our detour. Because of that though, tomorrow's trip will be shorter than expected.

As of right now we're in a motel 6 waiting on pizza for dinner, and day one is officially over.

EDIT:  Here's a few fun silly pictures from the road!  ~Lav

Update from car 1

Hey everyone! We're passing through Charlotte NC right now so I thought I'd do a quick update. I can post any pictures from my phone cause that makes the blogger app crash, but we'll add some later.

So far the drive has been easy and fun. Lots of silly side stops and funny things along the road. Lots of minor stories and laughing so hard we can't breathe :)

All in all it's going great.

Good morning!  Lavender here, we're currently at Cades' lovely parents house, doing the last few items of laundry, smelling the awesome breakfast Chuck is cooking and getting everything ready to hit the road.  From this point updates are going to be more sporadic, we're going to try to get a large summary post in at the end of each day, but we might miss a day here or there, and there will be tiny updates of pictures and things being posted randomly along the drive.

Very shortly we'll be leaving Georgia and heading for North Carolina!
