We made it to OHIO.... We left about 12:30pm on Thursday the 12th and stopped for a hour and a half nap at 6am Friday morning just past Indianapolis. We were about an 80 miles form Portsmouth when I got seperated from Naomi, I thought the sign said US 52 crossed the river... So I went across the river and it was HWY 62 so Naomi continued East on 52 and I tried taking some Kentucky Hwys and got lost in the hills. Luckily Some saw me driving in circles and stopped to give me directions. So I made it about 15 min after Naomi... good thing they don't patrol those state roads... as I drove a little faster than the speed limit to make up time.
We are staying in the Holiday Inn Express as the apartment we where supposed to be moving into is now not going to be available until the 21st... Gail, Tim and his wife Crystal have been real helpful through this situation. Last night they brought what seems like half of the grocery store so we would have food to eat... The boys got started right away and ate an entire box of fruit snacks.
The Hotel knows us as the dog bandits because they do not allow pets but made an exception for us. Everyone got to meet the dogs yesterday when Naomi left to meet Gail, Tim and Crystal, Jonathan wanted to go with mommy. While I was on the phone, Jonathan decided he would go down there too and opened the door. Dodger and Jasmine where waiting for this opportunity and slipped out the door, running down the hallway and then down the stairs. I called Naomi and she caught them before they went outside...
So we are semi homeless but are managing thanks to everyone.
