Westward, Ho!

Shaina

As an update on our moving situation - we did find a place to rent (a house with a yard), and moved to Illinois last week. DH went ahead with all our stuff, and I followed with the fish and the dogs. I took a bunch of pics as we went along...

The morning the dogs, fish and I left, and one last shot of the apt:


A big, pretty moth that was on the wall of the apt as I was packing:


Kim started off in the front seat, as the back was full enough that available space for the dogs was about equal:


Webster sat behind me:


*more*

Shaina

They soon lost interest in the drive:






But at least I had the varying scenery to keep me amused (sarcasm):


*more*

In case any of you have wondered where road rage comes from...here you go:





A house!? Come on people!



But I had birthday CDs to keep me serene...ish (was given them early for the trip):


*more*

Shaina

Stopped at a rest stop 3-4 hours into the drive...


Found this sign...interesting:


Switched the dogs around...Webster was eager to get back on the road:


Kim...not so much:


*more*

Shaina

"Are we there yet?"


"Are we there yet?"


"Is that it?"


"I give up...we'll never make it..."



We did make it, and we're done unpacking now. Everyone's starting to get used to this being "home" and figuring out where things are in the area.

*All done!*

ETA: And look...I even finished before midnight, at least according to my new time zone!

Nice moving montage.

Holy crap!!! Sweet pics. The road rage shots had me curled over laughing!!! (As did the scenery shot, I've yet to see flat ground horizon to horizon.) I am SO glad I don't drive anymore. So, so glad...

glad everyone made it! Looks like the dogs had a blast! lol. My dogs always fall asleep in the car, theyre like kids.. the motion of the road put them to sleep.

Shaina

Thanks

I hate long drives too...I try to avoid them unless it's really crucial. Having Webster in the front was pretty entertaining though...he's so dramatic about everything. Kim just resigns herself and sleeps it out (which is what I do if I don't have to drive).

Thanks Jenn

The Wicked CD got my attention. My daughter loves that CD and belts out every tune but, she can't sing! The 2 of you deserve each other LOL

Thanks all

Illinois is ... alright so far. We'll see if it grows on me. I like our house...outside of that I'm still deciding, haha.

MMM - Are you saying I can't sing? If so...you would likely be right, haha
