Well, we made it. It only took 1,859 miles across 9 states.
About an hour into our drive from North Carolina to Maryland, Morgan requested me to tell him when we see the "Welcome to Maryland" sign. He was very much looking forward to it, asking again and again during the drive if we had passed it yet. Finally, when it did come into view, I had to laugh as I simultaneously heard the lyrics of the song playing on the radio: "You'll go away but you'll come back some day..." How fitting! We arrived to Rich and Jill's house around 8:45pm and although it was past bedtime, the kids were wound up, excited to see each other and the basement full of toys. Ed and I set up our temporary lodging on the sofabed in the basement with Dean in the pack n' play around the corner while big boy Morgan happily slept upstairs on the bottom bunk in his cousin Owen's room. It's like camp!
We are happy to not see the inside of our Honda Pilot for a while, or at least not for the majority of the day. We've had visits from Ed's mom, stepdad and grandmother and are making plans to get together with friends. It will be good to see everybody!
