Ripley Update

September 27, 2006 Leave a comment

Ripley didn’t like her perfect new adpoted home, so she is back to Gretchen’s farm for good. Normally not being adopted would be a bad thing, but in this case it is a great thing. Gretchen and her family of temporary rescue dogs and large farm is perfect for Ripley. Aparently, she was howling at the adopted home so much that everyone decided she was homesick for the farm. So now Ripley will get to be Gretchen’s dog full-time and help mother the rescue dogs, go mt. biking with Gretchen, and run around the farm having a great life. Lorie and I cound’t be happier! Milo doesn’t seem to care though.  

Made it to Danville, PA

We got tired of driving so called it quits at a Best Western in Danville. So far, Pennsylvania is the prettiest state we’ve driven through on the trip.Too many trucks and road construction though.

Rock & Roll Museum

Today in Cleveland I went to the Rock & Roll Museum while Lorie and Milo went to a cool warehouse area, found a Starbucks and played scrabble online.The museum has a ton of interesting stuff, so if you ever get a chance, I highly suggest it.

We are off to New York today, so we have our final long day on the road today/tonight.

We went with Andy and Lourdes see the Tower of Power play tonight in Chicago at the House of Blues. They played `What is hip’ and a few other of their hits. I highly suggest catching them in concert and seeing anyone at the HoB.

Odele and Leslie played bartender for us as we waited for Brent to get home. Milo was busy eating peanutbutter and ice.

Dinner and geeks

We had dinner with Ben and Helen tonight (the grandparents) and ate too much but also setup a new Microsoft LifeCam so we can do full-screen video with them from London.

Heading to Chicago

We are in Des Moines, Iowa tonight (Wednesday, Sept 20) and will be in Chicago for the next few nights. In between visiting friends and family, we are contempating what to do. On our short list of possibilities include:

Of course, much of the "cultural" items will be available daily in London too, so if we don’t catch it now, we can catch similar things once we are there.

There’s Corn in Nebraska!

Not much else to see in Nebraska, but we did see some Buffalo Bill stuff at the Cody Fort this morning. We are heading to Des Moines, Iowa and will probaby see more corn.

No White Laundry

Alright, so we’ve been on the road now for a while and this is the first blog entry by Lorie (me). Most importantly, I’d like to expound on the benefits of never ever traveling with white laundry. One load, no white t-shirts to deal with, and we’re back on the road, fresh & happy. Highly recommend this method of traveling – and REI sells men’s tighty grays, blacks or blue’s in case those are needed :)
