We've Returned

We've made it back from our trip to Connecticut in one piece, which includes all the fragile stuff that came through just fine in the U-Haul thanks to Matt's packing job. We had a great time - got to see (almost) everyone and do all the fun CT stuff. Despite days full of pea-soup fog, I FINALLY got to jump in the ocean again after 5 years of missing it! I also discovered that Justin really doesn't like seaweed. :-) We completed the beach experience by my managing to gross both Justin and Matt out by slurping down raw clams on the half shell. Mmmmm.....

We also survived the very cozy, 15 hour trip back on the bench seat of our U-Haul despite extremely dorky customs agents and the mind-numbing landscape of southern Ontario. I must say that I've never before been asked by a customs agent if I've ever seen corn growing. As soon as he saw that Justin was from Oklahoma he started asking about corn. Justin replied very respectfully that it was actually wheat that was grown there. After telling the agent that we only got food and gas in Canada, he informed us that he does the same at Taco Bell. So, with that enlightening information, we were on our way.

I will put some photos up soon of our trip. In the meantime, our living room looks quite swanky with our new entertainment center, and we're sorting through all the stuff that we brought back and filling the garage to the brim with stuff for a yard sale. Out with the old, in with the new.
