Arrrrgh. My computer crashed as I was writing this so I have to write it all over again. This morning we sadly had to leave the kittens for a week to do the northeastern portion of our trip. Everyone’s doing well… though Simon freaked out when I walked into the “nursery” with a bag of carrots. No one else reacted but he ran off and kept eyeing the carrots, looking terrified. We’re trying to figure out if he had a traumatic incident with carrots in his past. If anyone has any ideas on this, let me know. I said to Cindy, “he’s definitely your cat – he’s afraid of vegetables.”

So anyway we took the long trek up from Asheville to Philadelphia today – not as scenic as our past drives, unless you consider construction and old battlefields scenic. But we successfully crossed the Mason-Dixon line and thanks to the Lexus GPS, we were directed accurately straight to Jenny’s apartment. When we arrived in the driveway, it even said “You have reached your destination.” Amazing!!! This thing was truly a trip.

Now we’re here in Philadelphia with Jenn and her husband David – they have a cool apartment with a great view of some river I can’t pronounce. And tomorrow we’re off to Jersey and Long Island…don’t think we’ll find much more scenery there…
