Ready to go!!

As you know, we are VERY excited about this trip!
We have been looking forward to it since last week, when we decided we would take it. Our bags are packed - and boy are there a lot of them! - everyone we are staying with (i.e. invading their homes) knows our approximate ETA and we are eager to start! We leave soon to go pick up the rental car, then come home to pack and deal with some last minute stuff around the apartment (like throwing out garbage, unplugging stuff, etc), then we are off to start our trip!
The first days will be spent in the Berkshires at Stef's parents cottage followed by Sarah's mom's house in Nawth Cahrolinuh. In between the two will be a special stop to see cousin Scott and his wife Carson, and their son Aaden. Stef is very excited to meet Scott and we are both excited to meet Carson and Aaden (but we don't know if we will meet Aaden, as it may be too late in the evening).
Keep up with us on this here blog; if you have, or make, an account with Google, you should be able to "follow" us but I'm not sure exactly how that works. :)
