We Made It

We made it to Northampton today.

This morning, we started at our friend Rachael’s house (thanks for hosting us Rachael) for an early trip to the airport.

10 hours and 2 layovers later, we arrived in Hartford and took the shuttle over to Northampton.

First thing we did was get some food to eat. Southwest peanuts and cheese Ritz do not go very far. We went to the car parking lot where Marnie’s car (previously in use by a friend) was parked waiting for us… in a spot where the pipes along the ceiling provided a nice perch for birds which can’t help but turn the passenger’s side into Abstract Expressionism.

It was a beautiful cool evening, relieving after an oppressive day. We also took some time to see our rental house (which we move into on Thursday). It’s *huge*. I still can’t believe how big it is. Our favorite feature so far is the deck which wraps around 2 sides. Once we settle in, we are making a big pitcher of Mojitos (virgin for the Pregnant) and laying out some seats for some serious porch-sitting.
