I know it has been a while since I have updated, but I wanted to be able to do things chronologically, and I didn't want to advertise that my parents were here and that their house was empty for a week, so I waited. Also, we didn't have internet right away, and I have been busy.
I don't know if I talked at all about the breakdown I had in the front yard on Tuesday night of last week. After we had managed to fit what I thought was everything into the two vehicles, I discovered a few boxes of rather important things that hadn't found their way downstairs. I did manage to make everything fit, but not after launching a poor, defenseless plastic pumpkin across my parents' front yard and screaming a lot.
I finally got to bed late that night, sleeping on the floor of the bedroom that I had slept in for most of my life, and I probably would have been emotional about that, except that I was exhausted and I knew I had a long day ahead of me on Wednesday.
We got up early Wednesday morning and headed out. We stopped off in Woodstown to have breakfast at the Wagon Wheel. My dad loves it there, but I wasn't terribly impressed. I am not a big breakfast-at-breakfast person as it is, and I just wasn't feeling anything on the menu. One of my big things about having all of these food allergies is trying to figure out what I am going to be doing after I eat. Driving in a car for 8 hours is not high on the list of things that I want to be doing if I need to make restroom stops.
The ride down on the first day wasn't too rough. I was starting to suffer from highway hypnosis, though, so I was glad to stop when we did. We made it to our hotel, checked in, and then went out to find some dinner. We ended up eating at a really awesome Soda Shoppe and Grille called Ellis, I believe. The food was really good, and I had a pineapple milkshake, which was possibly the best thing I have consumed in a while.
Short of that, there wasn't a whole lot else going on on that first day of travel.
