We made it!

We arrived happy and intact. All was well on the drive. Ohio was great. Seeing our friends and their kids halfway was lovely. They are the most gracious hosts and have a beautiful house--a resort-like space. They gave up their bedroom for us--the windows looked out onto the woods.
The drive on through West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland was equally gorgeous. What a lovely country--perhaps I'll stay! Now Erik and I have officially driven across the whole of it. Z was amazing Unbelievably good. No crying. No complaining. Lots of fun back-seat-sitting. Not much singing because Egg couldn't like the Pete Seeger I downloaded.
Z was great, perfect, until we hit Baltimore's 695. Stop and go. 10 miles took 40 minutes. Z, who hadn't been out of the car in 3 hours and had eaten a bunch of peanuts, threw up. But we made it to P's and rinsed the carseat off and changed her clothes and much joyous reuniting commenced.

Yeah! Sounds lovely (except for the throwing up!). Glad you made it. Hope to see you. Soon.

Congrats! And glad to hear you're safe. It is amazingly beautiful in the country you describe. No wonder people, you know, live there.

I'm so glad you came. Thanks for squishing and cooking and laughing and avoiding... It was great to see you all. Imagine 695 for 3 years! I lived to tell...

it IS pretty (having grown up there abouts). Trees, lots of green, water in the air
