Day 1

And we're off!  Chappy and I have officially started our trip across the country and are heading to Washington DC.  After packing and re-packing the car, it's stuffed to capacity and we have more Instant Oatmeal than we could probably eat in a month.  We left at about 6:30 this morning from my house in the greatest state ever, CT! :)  PS I'm blogging from the front seat of the car and will continue to do so until I learn to drive stick, or until we get to Seattle, whichever happens first.  We promise to be funny and as we planned this trip in the last 48 hours, I'm sure it will be an adventure! Pictures to follow if we can figure out how to hook my camera up to the computer.
