So far so good! We took off this morning in our Hertz Ford Explorer around 7am and pulled into Girard, Ohio at around 11pm (Eastern, 10pm Central). 745 miles down, 399 to go.
For those of you that are feeling sorry for us traveling so many miles with 2 little ones, you have to know these little guys are being amazingly good. Miraculously good maybe? 🙂 We stop about every 3 hours to get out and stretch for 45 minutes or so, then jump back in. Eli has a DVD player for when he gets tired of asking us questions. Ok, yeah, so sometimes I make the suggestion, but he usually thinks it’s a good idea. 🙂 We have had a lot of fun so far. The stress will probably come tomorrow trying to navigate New York City. Oh well, Google Maps has been good to us.
Hopefully we’ll take off in good enough time tomorrow to make it to the Ronald McDonald house to unload everyone and everything but me, and then hope I get to LaGuardia airport to drop off the rental by 5:30pm so I don’t get charged overage. We’re probably looking at another 6 and a half hours of driving left to do, plus 2-3 stops, so if we get started first thing in the morning, we should be ok on time.
I thought I’d post a picture of Eli during his stem cell harvest, so that’s what the main picture is now. Thanks for all of your prayers. Monday is check in where we will be meeting everyone and Tuesday is the big day. I don’t know if you heard, but it’s the International “Pray for Dr. Laquaglia Day” on October 9th. What a coincidence, huh? 🙂 You all are so faithful, thank you so much.
