Our journey begins...

We left NJ today.  We're enjoying a pit stop in Richmond, VA with Bill's other wife (and his hospitable girlfriend).  Then the other wife will come with us the rest of the way, driving Bill's car, so I don't have to drive alone with Littleman.  (For those of you who don't know him, Bill's other wife is his best friend, we'll call him Z from here on out.)

It took 7 hours and almost one tank of gas to get from NJ to Richmond.  We stopped three times.  Littleman was DRY the whole way - even though we put a pull-up on him!  We are so proud of the little guy.

After we eat dinner here, we'll get back on the road for about 3 more hours.  We're hoping to make it to Salem, VA tonight, then to Jackson, TN tomorrow (almost Memphis).  It is going to be a LONG haul tomorrow.

But, so far, so good!  Littleman only slept for one of the seven hours today, so I am hoping for a restful evening with him.

The foliage in Maryland was GORGEOUS.  While upstate NY is amazing, the different shades of yellow down here were definitely worth mentioning.  Lovely ride. 

Don't know when I'll post again, but keep your fingers crossed for a smooth journey!

  3. Great news about Littleman! I'm so glad he is doing so well during the long car ride. Hopefully tomorrow (or I should say today) will go just as smoothly and you'll be more than half way there!! Happy trails.
