We’re on the road! I write this from a Comfort Suites room in Leesburg, VA. My dad and I are on a 10 day cross-country adventure from Carrboro, NC to Portland, OR. Yep, my North Carolina adventure was brought to an end after a very eventful 5 years in the South. It’s off to discover the Pacific Northwest for me now.

It came to no surprise that packing day was one of the hottest and most humid in a couple of weeks. Apart from taking a few pints of bodily liquids, loading the truck didn’t bring much surprises. We were on our way to Williamsburg, VA to pick up more stuff even before noon. Packing turned into a game of 3D tetris and plenty more flowing of bodily juices at Bruce and Eleanor’s, but the reward was worth it: perfectly juicy lamb, sweet sweet corn sides from the South, deviled crab and a chocolate and ginger feast for dessert. We couldn’t have any better hosts for the night. Thanks B&E!

Pictures of our trip will be available in this flickr set.

Today involved airplanes, but more about that tomorrow. We’re off to Pittsburgh tomorrow, meeting up with Paul!
