Lillian in the car.

The big question before this trip: How will Lillian do?  Well, I’m glad to report, she has been wonderful on this trip (so have the rest of the girls, even Colleen!).

 

 

 

 

Up on Blue Ridge Parkway We attempted to detour onto the Blue Ridge parkway, a scenic detour through the mountains in Virginia.  We got 20 minutes down the road and met a roadblock due to snow and ice and had to turn back around.  Funny thing, Colleen and I tried to take this same path on our move to PA back in ‘94 but the truck broke down on that trip … for some reason the Robishaws are not meant to travel this road!

Washington Monument

A quick photo-op at the Washington Monument.  on our way to Kathleen’s.

Amazing, after 4+ days in the car, everyone is still smiling!

 

 

 

 

 

 

God is good, all the time.

Headed off to our good friends in PA. 
Lehit!
