This update has been a long time coming, sorry.
I havent pulled any pics from my camera yet, so theres very little to look at thus far, but Ill give you the general overview. You probably have some of this if youve been reading here or are subscribed to my Twitter Feed, but heres what Ive got. Lets see, categories:
Car Troubles
Nothing trip-threatening, really, but a cracked windshield from road debris only a few hours into day #1 is pretty lame. Also, a malfunctioning tire pressure sensor had us pull over to check tire pressure just to find it to be fine. The manual, predictably, is useless on details on when the tire pressure light comes on or why, other than to say “low tire pressure.” Dumb.
Cousins
Epic Fail! We didnt give any notice because we didnt know ourselves how long wed be on the first part of the trip, but neither J-cousin answered or even called us back within 24 hours! Aww! Thus, no dinners with family on the trip. Matt is a sad guy.
New Apartment
Luxury! Nice layout, awesome windows, well-appointed kitchen, and the building has underground parking and an upper-floor pool, rec-area, WiFi, gym…. Alexandria is a cool town, close to DC and closer to Drews office.
Friends
Last night, Scott & Sharon. Tonight, Megan & Ket. Possible S&S sighting again, as well as possible Mika. NYC has no commitments yet, but Im going to try to rustle up the Usual Suspects
