home....
I woke up Tuesday morning with a spider bite. One of the dangers of sleeping in a dormitory that is being moved out of. Stuff is being packed and unpacked from all corners, spiders are scurrying. I went for a little run around the soccer fields, then started the day, packing, hauling, moving things around. I met other parents in the hallway, met the friends and the boy again, who all helped, gave lots of hugs, took lots of pictures, and that was it, freshman year was over and we were on the road home.
We left Nashville on Tuesday around 2:30 and drove and drove and drove after loading up on smoothies and water and Pirate Puffs.
The little Toyota doesn't have a CD player, but a friend had given Ace 4 mix CDs of music that summarized their freshman experience. Ace had loaded all of them into Itunes , and thanks to the ITrip, we were set. We drove all the way to Memphis to the music of the freshman year soundtrack.
In Benton Arkansas we realized that this would not be a 1 day trip. We were making good time, but we'd gotten a late start. We stayed in Fort Worth, arriving at my best friend Maggie's house after 1:00 a.m. We started out again this morning around 11, stopped for snacks and coffee once and pulled up to the house around 2:00, proving once again that you can put a lot of stuff in a little car, that Toyota's are little workhorses and that we are good traveling companions.
It's good to be home. I'll be posting pictures of our adventures tomorrow...or maybe the next day.
