We left DC and somehow managed to fit everything in our car for our next big adventure! On day one we made it to North Carolina and stayed with my wonderful aunt and uncle who welcomed our crew with open arms and BBQ. We got to visit and enjoy coffee in rocking chairs on the porch looking out at trees and listening to crickets. Thumper ran free in the grass and played with every new toy he could find--he even got to pick one out to take with on the trip. It was so nice to see family, the first family we have seen in nine months, and we are grateful for their love and extreme hospitality! The next day we headed onward to Tennessee and stopped a little before Nashville. We gained an hour from Central time and tried to visit a state park (yes, those are still open!), but we got there three minutes before closing time and had to settle for subway and TV. The countryside here is beautiful and we saw the most amazing sunset over the corn fields last night.
In other news, I got in to see a doctor before we left DC and everything is going well! We will do a growth scan once we get settled in WA and I continue to monitor my blood sugars. It was a very reassuring visit and I was happy to be asked those follow up questions when I mentioned frequent Braxton hicks and lower back pain...in India I was told to lift with my knees, not my back, instead of say, trying to rule out pre-term labor :)
Pancho is still hoping to run an ultra marathon this fall (anything bigger than 26.2miles) and has been running each morning we have been back...which gives me time to blog before Thumper opens his eyes! Maybe this trip will be better documented than the last...stay tuned!
