This was our departure date of October 15, 2009. We were up early and ready to go at 8:15am. Excited about our journey we had packed the night before so in the morning all we had to do was tidy up and hood up the car. This pic is of us in the driveway of Tidewater ready to hit the road.
As you can see somebody really has a "glow on" about leaving for the winter. You can't read it - but on his shirt it reads "Life is Good".
Traveling was pretty easy until we got south of Hartford CT. That's where we saw our first bits of SNOW. Yes, you read that correctly - SNOW. We unfortunately drove in that for the last 2-3 hours of the day. It wasn't bad - but just a bit disappointing since the whole reason to get away was to avoid the snow. (I guess you can't see it very well in this pic - but believe me its there!
Hopefully you can see the snow in this picture. We are sitting at a traffic light in the Poconos - it was coming down pretty good then!
We have arrived at the KOA Campground in the Pocono's. Delaware River Gap. Really a beautiful place. We wanted to make the best of it and were determined to have a good time - so I started up a fire.
So, here we are. The first night of our journey south and we are in the snow. But like I said - bound and determined to make the best of it. We are happy to be on our way to FL and hope that tomorrow will be a bit better.
