City boy goes to the country

We just got back from a trip to Virginia with my whole family. This was an experience for everyone, but especially Tom. His cell phone didn't work, he didn't have his laptop and there was no 7-11 nearby!! Oh the horror!! He did think it was very beautiful and that they people were very nice, but that he never wanted to live there. :) It is a culture shock going from living across the street from Target to taking 45 minutes to go anywhere. He did enjoy seeing a driver in Kentucky hold his side view mirror out the window to look behind him! And of course, seeing the cow cooling off her feet in the creek!

All in all it was a good trip (especially since Tom doesn't like road trips) and we had a lot of fun. He was, however, very glad to be back in the real world. As he said on Tuesday, "We went to four stores and didn't have to take any Dramamine!"
