The trip from Rock Hill, South Carolina (where we were) to Williamsburg, Virginia is about a 5 hour drive. Thats not bad, but its not great either. The first thing I noticed while we were driving along the highway is the massive amounts of trees there are on the East Coast. Utah has hardly any trees unless you go to the mountains. But back East there are trees everywhere! It seriously looks like they cut down a square of trees to build a house and the rest of the property is completely surrounded by forest! I think it looks really cool, but my little sister Kalena got Paul started playing a zombie game called "Into the Dead" and it has forests on it, so I started freaking out about zombies coming crawling out of the forests!!! Nothing of the sort happened, but it literally was on my mind every time I looked into the huge trees! I even had to take a picture of Paul and myself walking into the creepy cool forest.
So, the drive... We had to meet Eric and Amanda a little ways up because they had taken Milo to the ER. Both Milo and Sage had a cold, and as most of you mothers know a common cold for an infant is dangerous RSV. Milo was having trouble breathing so off to the ER he went. No worries though. Drs. said it was RSV and he needed to get all the gunk in his lungs and throat cleared out. So while Eric and Amanda were at the hospital doing that, we were driving to meet them, but along the way Julie wanted to visit an old professor of hers while she was back East. We made a pit stop and visited her professor for a while then headed back to the highway to meet the rest of the family. We stopped at a park for to have lunch and meet up. We ate our food, then of course I had to go play on the playground! Cute little Sage, (my nephew), is really active and came to play too. We had fun on the slide and playground equipment for a little bit. Paul and I found an out door chess table, (like the ones you see in the movies), so we sat down with Sage, convinced him to pose with us and took some pictures. 
After our brief pit stop, we hit the road again. Everything was going great until Sage got car sick! We had to stop twice and clean out his car seat and the van! Poor little kid. He was happy as a clam after the car stopped moving, but those twisty, windy roads must have made him nauseous. We finally got to the condominium we were staying at sometime in the later evening. I was quite impressed with the size of our place! We had two bedrooms upstairs one with a jetted tub :) a kitchen, dining room and living room! It was pretty sweet! Paul and I got stuck with the hida bed couch thingy, but we figure that until we have kids we will prolly always get the ucky hida bed couch thingy. No worries though, we survived.
After a late dinner and a TV show, we all went to bed to prepare for the fun adventures tomorrow would bring. Which I will write about in the next post or this one would be forever long!!
