Destination:Philadelphia, PA:March 16-17 After seeing grandma Susan off to the airport to catch her flight home to Colorado, Ty went to get us our final minivan rental as I finalized our packing. Yesterday was cold and rainy, today was suppose to bring snow and havoc to the city, so we thought it best to make our way to Washington DC. Another fine minivan held all of our luggage, all 6 of us and came nicely equipped with a navigational system. It took us quite a while just to get out of the city.

We made it, after 3,085 miles. We ate breakfast at Philadelphia at 5 am today after driving the whole day and night from Rockford, IL. Who in the right mind will be driving the whole way - crazy.

Things we learn on the trip: 1) Bring enough cash for toll 2) Microsoft streets and trips is a very helpful software 3) Freeways rest stops have nice restrooms 4) Kit Kat is a great motivator 5) Laughter is the best wake-up method... read more
