The adventures begin

I feel like it's appropriate for the first post of this blog to depict Devin's trip to Pennsylvania that made me appreciate, love, and learn so much about him when I thought that he would be the only one doing the learning. I was honestly kind of nervous to have him come...things that I've told him about and said before, I just knew he couldn't understand or really know until he actually was here to experience and see for himself. Well, my favorite thing about the trip was seeing the things I've always seen and known through his eyes.

Things I learned from Devin: Family is family no matter what they do or need, cheesesteaks have a taste resemblence to sloppy joes, PT cruisers are so nice to ride in it doesn't matter how ugly they are, he can win the heart of an 83 year old woman with his French speaking skills, he can run from one side of a pond to another in the time that it takes for a self-timing camera to take a picture, a road I've driven through many times apparantly looks like the rain forest, you can drive from Philadelphia to Idaho in 2 days in a 1988 Volvo wagon with no AC.
