Today wan another 600 mile day. The damn time change got us again! We drove 9 hours but we are back in Eastern Standard time so we lost another hour! We didn't get as far as we had hoped, but we are still closer than we were this morning! Tonight we are in Harrisonburg, Va. The GPS says we have another 350 miles tomorrow in order to get to Jon & Michele's. We were hoping for 300 or less miles but there's nothing we can do now. We simply forgot to figure in losing an hour.

Once again the kids were excellent travelers. At one point Duncan even suggested we just drive the entire way so we could get to NY! The kids were up late last night. They had a difficult time settling down knowing it was our last night at Brooke's. I think the last time I went in to quiet them was 11:30. Although it was frustrating last night, it paid off today because Douglas slept for about two hours in the car while Duncan quietly watched a movie. Leaving Brooke was tough this morning. She has been a part of our family for years. I don't really remember my childhood without her! Len and I have been scheming with Brooke to get them to New Hampshire for Thanksgiving. We're enticing Brett with the hunting card! Duncan has "offered" to go archery hunting with him if he comes up! I hope it happens. Although the ride has been long we did get a big break today. The heat wave broke! I think the highest we saw the thermometer go was 88 degrees. That is a far cry from the 100+ days we've had. We even drove through a couple of big thunderstorms. The rain was creating tons of steam on the roads. It wasn't easy driving but it was a cool sight.We pulled into our hotel at 7:20 pm. We were just in time to watch the opening ceremonies for the Olympics. Tomorrow it is up and at'em to get to Warwick, NY! We didn't take any pictures today but I've included some fun ones from previous days....
