Slight change of plans
What a day! I got up this morning at 7:30 and almost immediately began cleaning our house in order to move out. Our landlord had ridiculous requirements for cleaning for moving out. I cleaned nonstop from about 8am to 4pm while Phill loaded the truck, ran some errands, and took care of final paperwork at headquarters. I was absolutely exhausted. Our plan was to take care of final things and clean and then head to Gettysburg that night and camp there. Phill would ride his motorcycle and I would follow behind him. With just a few additional errands to run, we made our goal to be on the road toward Gettysburg by 6pm. At almost 6pm on the dot, we were all ready to go just as a thunderstorm rolled through. I guess Virginia would have us for one extra night. We had a big dinner and a beer at Chili's with the money I had made trading coins in at Coinstar. Hooray for pocket change. I had a bottle of champagne I bought earlier in the day to toast to our new adventure that was meant for our campsite, but it seemed appropriate despite the circumstances. We blew up our air mattress, drank a bit of our champagne, and will probably fall right to sleep.
