Wendy's twice in one day

Yep. You know it's not going to be a great day when lunch and dinner are at Wendy's. Well, today we packed it all up and shipped it to Texas. From 7 to 3:30 we taped up the final boxes and cleaned rooms as they were vacated so we could send the vacuum cleaner on with the movers. From 3:30 to 5 we finished the cleaning, and from 5 to 6 we turned in the cable box, dropped off stuff at Goodwill, and replaced our final light bulb. From 6-7 we said goodbye to neighbors. At 7 we dropped my car off at the airport for my mom and her friend Gayle to drive back to Texas for us (thanks guys!), and at 7:30 we found ourselves back at Wendy's. Yum.
After an hour and a half on the road, we have arrived at our first road trip destination - The Inn at Glenora. We are in the room on the far left in the picture, and the room shot is an exact mirror of ours - wow luxury:) A big thank you goes out to Tim's aunts, uncles, and cousins for their gift certificate that made this possible. We just booked the room last week and all they had left was the nicest suite.. darn! We were greeted with glasses of champagne as we checked in to our huge room complete with fireplace, jacuzzi and bottle of wine. I only wish there was... oh wait, this is perfect:).
Tomorrow we are headed off to Corning to check out the Museum of Glass. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to add to our daily blog. Tim and I were so exhausted after this crazy week.. and it is almost surreal being finally on the road. I'm sure the excitement will take hold tomorrow:)

  2. Can't wait to read and see more as you post your adventure! I know you will enjoy the fall leaves and beautiful scenery. One of the most beautiful drives I have taken up there is through the back roads from Utica to Lake Placid, and then, the next day, over across the ferry into Vermont. I am anxious to hear about what you will discover along the way that can be added to a fall foilage experience.

    Gayle and I are looking forward to picking up your car and enjoying the scenic trip down to Texas as well.

    Love to you both and have a safe trip.

    Mom

  3. Why am I just now knowing about this blog site? Is there no respect for your step-elders????
