We are finally nearing the end of our driving (and we’re ALL feeling it). I’m running out of ideas to entertain Emily and I think she is too. We left Ohio today and drove through West Virginia. We did pretty much the same drive last summer with Jeff’s family. It was prettier then - although we could now see past the tree-lined highway and know that houses exist in West Virginia. I kept seeing really run-down buildings the whole drive and I couldn’t help but think of
The Glass Castle.
I am very proud to say that we were only 20 minutes outside of Virginia when we pulled the DVD player out for the first time. Of course we had to listen to “Buzz! Buzz!” the last 10 minutes of the drive because the movie wasn’t quite long enough to get us to Jeff’s brother’s house.
We arrived at Stan & Mel’s and were able to enjoy a home cooked meal and a night full of Wii. I’ve already been hit up for one twice since we got here. I just keep telling Jeff to get a job. I have a feeling that’s all Jeff’s going to do tomorrow. Anyone care to disagree?

Well, since you suggested it...
Every day when Paul gets home, "Soooo, ya wanna play a little Wii?" No, it's like 10 o'clock at night, I want to go to bed! He has been up past midnight many times playing (and has tennis elbow the next day!)! Boys and their toys!
Looks like Jeff has Emily hooked on the Wii -- sorry Bec, two against one. I guess you better join in. Thanks for all the wonderful updates and pictures. Can't wait for next week to see you.
I'm glad that Emily took a little piece of Hayden with her. (buzz) Thanks for sharing your journey I feel like I got to come along without the car sickness. he he he. O and as for the Wii. Isn't it fun and can be a workout depending on the game. I think I told you Ty bought me one for my birthday. (A sneeky gift since Ty enjoys it just as much or more.) Anyway, we miss you guys it already feels like it has been a long time. We will try to survive. Keep having fun.
