Andrew and Tara: August 2008

It's late and I don't have our pictures on my computer yet, but I wanted to give a short update on what we're up to. Tara and I left from Vernal on Wednesday July 30th around noon. Tara's mom and dad came along for the drive and drove our second car. We stopped Wednesday night in Goodland, Kansas after about 8 hours worth of driving Thursday we got up early and headed out with a goal to make it to Terre Haute, Indiana. After about 12 1/2 hours of driving we finally made it to Terre Haute, just barely over the Indiana border. Today was our last day of driving and took us through Indiana, Ohio, two small pieces of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and finally Maryland. Our drive time today was about 10 1/2 hours. We got here too late to get into our apartment so we're staying in a hotel in Columbia, MD just outside of Baltimore and will start moving into our place tomorrow. We'll move the majority of our stuff that went on the truck on Monday morning. Overall it's been a fun trip and went much faster than I expected. It has been very interesting to see so many different parts of the country. From start to finish we drove through Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvanio, West Virginia again, and Maryland. Most of the trip was along I-70. Later we'll put up a few pictures of the trip, including the welcome signs to most of the states we drove through. We love you all and are still sad to leave you all for so long, but we're also excited to get things going here in Baltimore. We're hoping to have lots of visitors so you should all start checking for flights now :-)
