As you can probably tell, I didn't bring the laptop along on the trip, so I haven't been able to get to the Internet until tonight, which is likely our last night on the road.

[livejournal.com profile] blackwingedboy may be interested to know that Jet has now pee'd on 20 states. Hee.

It's been an interesting trip, starting with camping and more bug bites than I can count and a ride up Colorado, and then through Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ontario, New York, and into Vermont with various stops including a one day break at Niagara Falls, on the Canadian side.

Then we had a great five days in Vermont with John's mom's clan, her brothers and their children and grandchildren. It was a blast, especially climbing a mountain and swimming in a marble quarry.

We then visited the Mt. Washington cog railway, the Salsburg railway, and something in Cumberland, West Virginia that had an Art Train, but the running train was off doing something, and we're now on the last straight run across Kanasas. We did go up the St. Louis Arch, the 60's technology was weirdly pristine and old at the same time.

Sorry to anyone that wrote me after we left. I just could not answer. I did get to see Archangel Beth and her Io-chan and that was well worth the stop and the sidetrip to N.H and a small Maine beach to touch the Atlantic. Just because we could. :-)

More when we can breath a bit at home. *hugs*

Yeah... 5000 miles is a lot of driving. I'm *still* stiff.

Kinda...

Jet got to the point where he would tell us he needed to pee, and when we found a safe place to stop by the side of a freeway exit, he'd just get out of the car, walk to the corner of the car, pull down his pants and pee on the ground, regardless of just how exposed he might be.

Better than an accident in the car, but yeesh...

*beam* thanks!!

It started so roughly and I was pretty stressed by life and work and stuff, and it got pretty physically painful for bits of it, but good all in all.

I'm glad you got to stop by! (I'd say the minx was really hyper from excitement, but she was only a bit more Ofanite-ish than usual. *sigh*) I hope that the hotel worked out and all, and I'm glad that you got to touch the Atlantic!

When we walked out to the car, Iolanthe said, "I miss them!"

Awwww... :-) How cute!

We really enjoyed seeing both of you! Sad that we missed Walter, but it was great of you to share the Fish Shanty with us! Yum!!
