Driving Courtney to college

It took 32 hours, but we got her to college.  Courtney has chosen to attend Southern Virginia University in Buena Vista, VA. 

I drove out with her (it took 3 days) and Bryan flew out to join us in Virginia.

August 13:

After loading Courtney's car with her stuff, we took off for Virginia.

Our first-day goal was to get to Grandma and Grandpa Pack's house in Colorado. They weren't going to be there but Julie and her kids were. Traffic was pretty bad around the ski areas so it took a long time to get there, but we made it.

We got up really early, packed up, and took off.  I was surprised at how little there was to see on the east side of Denver but it made things interesting. The speed limit is so slow also!! 

We drove through the east part of Colorado, all of Kansas, and into Missouri.  We spent the night in Mount Vernon, Missouri.

We only stopped for gas so we didn't see much outside the car but there were some pretty sights as we drove by.

This day saw us going through Missouri,Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and made it to Buena Vista

We got in really late, found our hotel (the same one we stayed in when we checked out SVU in April), and went to sleep. We were exhausted. It was a long drive but we were finally there!
