We're Back!

It was a long day of driving, we left Charlotte at 8:00 am on Friday morning and headed for home. Our first stop was the Virginia Welcome Centre.

Virginia

The girls with Thomas Jefferson, born in Virginia in 1743.

After a short drive through Virginia, we crossed into West Virginia.

Dad had lent us their GPS, we used it off and on, it was good for finding hotels.

The first time we had to pull out the laptop for movies was our last day of travel. Here are the girls looking pretty happy.

Our second last state, Pennsylvania. Only a couple of hours from the outlet mall.

We stopped in Grove City to visit the Prime Outlets mall. One last shopping binge.

We crossed over into New York state, but there was no Welcome Centre on the I-90, not that we would have stopped at that point, it was more like "just keep swimming, just keep swimming" until we got home. We crossed the border at Fort Erie with no trouble. Five questions, How many of you? What is everyone's citizenship? Where were you? how long have you been gone? Are you all one family? and that was it, have a good night. There was no wait and we crossed over at 10:52 pm. We pulled into our driveway at 12:16 am, tired, but happy to be home. We started and ended with a picture of the girls in the van, so I have put both here, see if you can guess which is which.

Hope you enjoyed our adventure to Walt Disney World. I'll post our trip summary and some words from the girls soon.
