Our move to upstate New York

Many have wondered where we are (including ourselves), so I wanted to update everyone that we have officially made the move to NY. We chose to do the move over the long Thanksgiving weekend.


We were bright eyed and ready for the adventure when we left Georgia Friday afternoon. But, things quickly started to turn a direction neither of us anticipated. I could write a book on the past three days, but instead I have decided to leave the narration up to the photos below. Enjoy the photo book of our last three days full of adventures!

DAY ONE:
Mile Marker 99.6 of our trip...

Sad we were in this situation so early...

But happy that we got to a safe place before the tire blew!


DAY TWO:
Mile marker 528.1...
Nearly a two hour delay, but Mikey actually fixed it before the repair guy...then we were stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, but overall just happy we were "on the road again"
...yet throughout Day Two we had two more delays, so we had to call it a night in Syracuse
(just one hour from our final destination)

DAY THREE:
Somewhere over 975 miles (stopped tracking)...



And this happened twice on Day Three...but this final one was the end of our truck driving, we had to call in help to get us to our hotel...


our version of Optimus Prime came to our rescue...and he came back today to bring us to our storage unit to unload.



There you have it, our first family move. We are at a hotel and exhausted, but even with all the problems we have this to say:

1) we are safe
2) we kept our wits (diminished a bit each delay, but overall more laughs then anything)
3) we say Penske has some great customer service, especially for a holiday weekend.

I have tons of words that I could put to this move, but I will digress. Enjoy the photo story and if you really want I will write a short novel on this!!!

Thanks for all the support, we are going to keep this adventure of our first family move going!

tata for now,
