Born To Run

These babies were definitely born to run, 802 miles down with just 300 more to go! Yes that is correct we will be back home today. We left Tampa early Tuesday morning, sacked out in a hotel in Savannah Tuesday night, sacked out in another hotel in Richmond Wednesday night and will be pulling into our driveway tonight. Some quick stats for you....101 days since we have been home, Charlie weighed 4 lbs 11 ounces at our last doctor visit, Monday, (although mom feels he has packed on even more weight since then), Nori is tipping the scales at 5 pounds 11 ounces. Charlie and Nori have been to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia (more traveling than their Poppy). We have passed about 50 signs to South of the Border and 400 Waffle Houses. When we checked into the hotel last night I couldn't help notice that Amy and I had one bag between us, while the babies brought in 8 bags, interesting. We are stopping about every 2 ot 3 hours to change, feed and refuel. If I could get one thing on this trip it would be a sign before exits that said if you are looking for a clean place to change your child don't stop here. So far we rated the Barnes and Nobles bookstore in South Carolina the best changing place. As you may have guessed this is Bryan doing the writing, as a guest writer to the blog. We miss all of you and will be seeing you very soon. Just wanted to thank all of you for the calls, packages from home, comments to the blog, prayers and support, we wouldn't have been able to do this without you. By the way Nori and Charlie are talking about going to Aruba next year.
