WE'RE OFF!!!!!

Well we're off.  We wanted to be on the road by 7:00 am and it was 7:02 when we rolled out of the driveway from Marilyn's house.  First stop was to fill up with gas and grab some ice.  We went to the local gas station in Germantown, IL.  John pulls in for gas and gets out and realizes the gas tank is on the other side.  First lesson learned and hopefully a mistake not to be made again.  Sam and I went in for soda, coffee and ice.  John fills up and we leave.  About 30 minutes later we get a phone call from John's mom.  The sheriff just left her house because the gas station called them saying we had gased up and left without paying.  Apparently the pump had asked him to enter the zip code and he inadvertently bypassed that and continued to pump gas.  In PA, the pumps don't work unless the card is processed for payment.  I guess they're a little more trusting in IL (at least down south).  Anyway, we gassed up and left not giving it a second thought.  Then the phone call came.  Oh well, the first of many mishaps I'm sure.

Look where we're going!

EXCITED TO LEAVE!

We've been on the road for awhile now and the kids seem to be settling in just fine.
