From "The Elm" city AKA New Haven


Well, we made it! 2,700 miles and 10 states later than this above picture, we are in our apartment in New Haven. We are really excited to participate in this bloggery. Great idea Kevin and Kristine! The trip went well. Thanks a ton to mom for coming with us to St. Louis. That really made the first three days more manageable. Since Geoff was the one who picked up the truck, he was the only one with a license to drive it (hogger). So this is what mom and I saw the whole trip, except when I got to ride with Geoff sometimes. We spent four great days in Normal, Illinois with Geoff's mom and dad, sister and three nieces. Connecticut is pretty. I am trying to get over the culture shock of moving into an apartment after living in Power Ranch. And oops, we didn't know these apartments came without AC! Flashback to the Philippines, sleeping on top of the covers all windows ajar. Luckily, we learned about window units and the weather has cooled to the 70's. Yesterday we went to the Milford city Oyster Festival. Watching others slurp the grimey things out was enough to ensure that neither of us try one, but we did enjoy walking around to the booths, etc. Well, hope to hear from all of you soon. We sure miss all of you, especially as we think of you getting together tonight!
