Now that Jason and I have officially moved to the West Coast (Moscow, ID, if you haven't been following along) we've decided it might be time to resurrect this blog to keep track of the adventures we have. At 3 hours behind EST and a totally different climate, hey, it's practically a foreign country.
There is the small issue of the name though. We're no longer newlyweds (13 months on Wednesday) and the only waves around here are the "amber waves of grain" from "America the Beautiful" that I am just now finally understanding. Suggestions for a new name?
August 2nd we started our 40+ hour, 2580 mile cross-country road trip from Charlottesville to Moscow. We loaded up the car, said some tearful goodbyes and set off for Coldwater, OH to visit Jason's family. There we learned all about bumbines (combines) from our 2 year old nephew, checked out the town picnic (Jason's verdict: it was way more fun when he was seven years old), and enjoyed hanging out with family. Day 2 took us to St. Cloud, MN, where we learned that all the Minnesota stereotypes we knew were true: people were tall, women were strong, and everyone was as friendly as can be.
The more exciting part of our journey begins on day 3, but for know I will leave you with some pictures of our reluctant travel companions, Ricky and Lucy.
