4-30-09 Thursday - Day 1 - Taking Off!

Yay! Today finally came. I will miss my family, though. I did cry a bit this morning. I wasn't as emotional leaving last year.

We're driving through the Gorge right now. I love the beautiful sights out the window! We should just hang out in Oregon today, it's plenty gorgeous!

So far, today has been going well. I'm pretty tired, but there's plenty of time to sleep on the bus. I'm actually riding in the smaller van today. I struggle with getting claustrophobic with so many people in the huge bus. At the nest stop we have to get some Language Arts homework from the bus.

Looking forward to the days to come!! I'll keep you all posted! =]
