DELAWARE TRIP
March 13-22, 2003
The first question you have is probably "Why in the world did you go to Delaware? Isn't that a little far away from home?!" Well, yes it is, but some good friends of mine invited me to visit them out in the First State, and the home of the Blue Hens. So that meant that I took advantage of the opportunity to take a roadtrip and see some friends and a part of the country I had never seen before this trip! I took this trip during my Spring Break from college. I started out at 1 on Thursday afternoon (the 13th), just an hour after my final class ended. The first day of travel took me to Joplin, Missouri. From there, I made hotel stops in Terre Haute, Indiana, and Washington, Pennsylvania. I arrived in Delmar, Delaware just before 4 in the afternoon on Sunday, March 16. I spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday there, compiling pictures from around the area and having good fellowship with the people who invited me in the first place! I began the trip back home on Thursday, March 20 and stayed in Wytheville, Virginia, and stayed in Jackson, Tennessee on Friday, March 21. I arrived back home about 5:30 on Saturday afternoon, after exactly 4,000 miles of driving! It was my longest roadtrip ever but it was well worth the effort to spend some time with the good people who invited me.
