West Virgina was certainly a sight to behold. Which surprised me considering I usually find the landscape dull to look at while making the same drive in the summer. The colors take my breath away and I don't even care how cheesy that sounds. I happen to like cheese because it is usually true.
The 9 hour drive went by extremely fast.
I could say it was the beautiful scenery, but I think satellite radio may have had something to do with that as well. Some of the songs made me think about some of my 5th graders from Erwine. There was a boy in my homeroom that came in singing either a song by Eminem or "Pumped up Kicks" pretty much every day. Remembering the little things certainly doesn't make leaving any easier, but it makes life a little brighter by triggering a laugh when you least expect it. I hope that these 7th graders have a sense of humor and that we can laugh together.
After a facebook status update, numerous games of Words with Friends, and a good 3 hours spent on Pinterest (my latest obsession, I'm anxiously awaiting my invite as I type), my cell phone died. Luckily we were only a half hour away from dinner and the hotel at that point.
Ruby Tuesday's has the best croutons ever. I am so glad there is one in the area.
*Note to self: Go there for dinner when I am too lazy to cook something and I don't want to starve to death.
Tomorrow my parents and I are going to make a trip to Walmart to get some things I need and then I will move into Elaine's house, where I will be living for the next 7 weeks. In the land of the palm trees :)
But I will not forget about my home tree and I look forward to seeing what it looks like in December when i return.
The tree in my front yard at home. I took this picture as we were pulling out of the driveway.
