I forgot to mention my last post….on our way out of DC - Steph texted both our cells…
“On the road again. just cant wait 2 get on the road again. c’g things i nevr c again and i Cant wait 2 get on the road again.”
That melted our hearts…
Then I texted back:
“It’s been a long road - getting from there 2 here - Blah blah blah - ’cause I got faith of the heart - nothing can bend or break me…”
And then I texted back from Mark’s phone…
“I got faith to believe - I can do anything…’cause I got faith of the heart. cue guitar riff and spaceships”
She answered back with : “Sniff. ENGAGE”
We left behind our Trek buddy in DC - but we’re still together in spirit. Sigh.
Last Monday, she said she sat down to watch an episode of Enterprise on UPN….only a few more left. It was pre-empted by a National’s game. Damn.

That didn’t work out because we ran in to some heavy rain on day 1. The rain was so bad - we could barely see out our windows and the raod in front of us.
We stopped in Cumberland, Maryland - for lunch. The town’s inside the Appalachian Mountains…somewhere.

Here’s a new blog about about my road trips..
Last month - I pointed my tiny little black Corolla towards Cali….headed home. I finished up my Master’s program in DC and I was ready for a break.
My honey piled up the car with all our crap and planned on hitting the I-70 for our road trip.
Rain slowed us down, at the beginning of the trip. We had to play catch-up by day 4.
This pix is from “historic” Cumberland, MD.
More pix will be uploaded…soon
