We stopped several times to stretch and run around in the rain.. but that was about all the sightseeing we did.
The final photo of the drive that Marie snapped tells the story..
We finally got to our hotel room, dried out and hit the sack.. We were too tired to celebrate, but we all thanked God for getting us there alive and without incident.. God is so good!
The next morning we were treated with sunshine and some amazing scenes of our new hometown. (note to those in so cal: Those green things on the side of the road are called trees)
This mini adventure to just get to Viginia was really such a blessing it's ridiculous. The only thing that would have made it perfect was if Troy could have joined us.. ;) But i know this Jacobs' Adventure isn't finished.. I think it's just getting started. I got to hang out with my wife and kids and see the country in a whole new way. Once we find a home and settled I'm sure Troy will come and visit. Perhaps we'll plan the next road trip Jacobs Adventure!
to be continued...
