Baltimore to Seattle: Day 1

So the adventure begins! Mama Cloudy, Fort, and I left this morning to head out west. Before we could get out of town we ran into some of the inevitable traveling problems. Several of the boxes that were necessary to come along were not going to fit in the Cloudy Mobile. So, Papa Cloudy, being the awesome Dad that he is, went out early this morning to pick us up some supplies: ratchets and felt pads.Very quickly this morning, Mama Cloudy and I figured out how to use said ratchets, and successfully did an amazing job securing the precious materials to the roof. Just as we were ready to head out the Littlest Cloudy jumped into the drivers seat and refused to let us go. After a while we convinced her that we needed to leave and we'd be back to visit soon. The Cloudy girls got a photo together and we hit the road!
But not until the Middlest Cloudy helped make sure that everything was going to fit into the back...Before we left Maryland, I insisted that we stop by Sideling Hill. Fort had told me a bunch of stories about her family stopping there when she was little. It was awesome! With a very educations visitors center. If you ever head out I-68 I recommend you make the quick stop.
From there we headed to Morgantown, West Virginia to have lunch with Beth from LemonCadet and her husband. They took us to Black Bear, a really great burrito restaurant. It was really great to hang out with them again and the food was awesome! I admit it.. I ate too much and ended up in a nice food coma for the next leg of the trip.
After a really great visit with them we all got back into the car and headed over to Ohio to stay the night at Gemmafactrix's. She was awesome enough to offer to let us crash! And we got to hang out with Squirtle.. So its pretty much the coolest thing ever. I think he and I are going to have an adventure of our own tomorrow!

Have fun on your adventure to Seattle, so sad you are leaving the east coast and that Boston is so far north and not on the way.
