We left the Mudricks house and headed South to the Norfolk area (Nor-#*$@ as the locals say). We made a couple of stops along the way one of them being StoneWall Jacksons home, not much to it as one would expect since he was on the losing side.
The one thing that made the long drive berable for Ashlee and Myself was the infinite amount of trees. It was so beautiful at times we were saying to each other "I could live here easily, its so beautiful". Unfortunately housing costs on the east coast mirror those on the west coast. Driving along the highways and interstates is a treat though because it is really so clean and green. The one thing that made the long drive berable for Lance was my video iPod and the old time Disney short cartoons I hastily downloaded before the trip "just in case". Goofy and Donald Duck saved this leg of the journey.
We made it to Hampton in time for dinner at the Napoleons. We had not seen Kalani and Cheri since their move from Alaska to Virginia. They stopped in for a couple of days that summer in 2004. Kalani was running ragged from the graveyard shift he was assigned at the Airforce base and mixing in a newborn baby into the schedule. He has since retired from the Airforce and has gone into the private sector. Cherie's sister was there helping out and we just came over for dinner and a quick visit. Lance could not have been happier, since 2 of Kalani's kids were eligible palaymates. When it got close to bed time he even got to take a bath. I showed Cherie how to set up a blog and make posts. Since then she has proved to be a far better regular poster than I will ever be. She takes loads of great pictures too.
