The first leg of the trip was successful! Ashley and I only got into one fight. It was in the ninth hour, and I was driving. We got over it, though. We left State College a little after 1--there was some crying from both us and the roommates. We had to fill up the gas tank twice--forty bucks each time. We also had to stop for Ashley to pee about a hundred times. (Ok, so maybe it was more like four times.) The drive was fairly uneventful. When we arrived at Ashley's, her dad and her brother were at work, and her mom and her sister were in bed. The dogs didn't even bark.
After a good night's sleep, we're thinking about what will happen over the next two weeks. There are a couple of things we are pretty sure of:
1. We'll stay in Big Stone Gap and Wise for a few days
2. On Friday, we'll drive down to South Carolina to visit my family for a few days
3. We'll leave SC on Monday
What is unknown is where we will go when we leave SC. Will we come back to VA, or will we start on our journey to TX?
We'll have to decide from here whether we need to unpack the car and leave stuff here for a while or what. I'm voting for leaving everything in the car. I am failing to see the point of unpacking and repacking the car yet again.
In other news, I think that both Ashley and I are allergic to dog hair. Both of us have had watering eyes, itchy faces, and swollen throats from the moment we stepped in the door.
