Well, we did it! We successfully untangled ourselves from the sticky tentacles of 182 Woodland Ave and we are on our way! Here are a few things we learned on our first day of travel:
First: 3 people + clothes + camping gear + games + books + music + food = the desparate need for a top of the car carrier!
Second: Dennis from Sears is very nice, and (who knew?) car carriers aren't so compicated!
Third: There's traffic in New York on Sunday nights at 8:00pm...yes, stopped, bumper-to-bumper traffic. Do New Yorkers do anything other than drive?
Fourth: If you work for the New Jersey Turnpike for about 80 years your vocabulary will be severely hampered. In fact you may well be reduced to only 3 words! No kidding - kids should take this as a warning to stay in school!!!
I say, "Sorry, I drove through the FastPass lane..."
80 year old NJ Toll-taker says, "$9.05"
me: "That's great - no trouble then?"
him: "$9.05"
me: "Wow, nice night!"
him: "$9.05"
me: "Thanks!"
him: "$9.05"
me: "You know we all are sinners, we've all fallen short of the goodness of God. What will you say one day when you stand in front of your Maker?"
him: "$9.05"

Yeah...a car top carrier...aren't you proud of me for not saying anything...but...now I can't say "I told you so"...it's so much nicer with a little room in the car so you aren't always licking someone else's elbow...tho you really should have asked me how to get past THE CITY! But then my other kids are known for not listening to my driving directions...so I'm now alerted to pray even harder for travel mercies!!!

P.S. Are you guys having a contest to see how
many times you can tell someone THE GOOD
NEWS? If not, you should...think of all the
"the woman and her two boys in the loaded
car with the huge car top carrier" stories!
Should keep us laughing in Heaven for at
least a couple centuries!!!
Bwaaaa haaaa haaaaaa!!!! You are too funny Elizabeth!!
