Good evening everyone.
I write you all from my hotel room in Charleston WV tonight. Crazy I've been so many places. Sad to see my trip winding up, but happy to replay all the fun memories I've made in my head.
Today I woke up and headed out of Fairfax at 9:30 this morning and headed West. I made a scenic detour down the Skyline Parkway in VA and it was stunning! I can't wait to really go through all of my pictures!
Once I got into WV I noticed some dark clouds and just outside of Charleston. The last 12 miles of my trip was rough, driving rain and flashers. But alas I got here about 4:30. Once i got checked in, I headed to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings (in the rain) and I'm back at the hotel.
During my drive a song came on my radio (iPod) and its one I know fairly well from years back, but I heard it and thought about all I've done and it really gave me perspective on this trip.. I've really done some awesome things and I think this song helps put it into perspective.
Find Yourself- Brad Paisley (from the movie, Cars)
I hope all is well, Much love

Nice entry today, Emily. It's been sort of a learning experience for your dad and I, too. We've had to step back and 'let you fly'. Miles away from our protection and guidance, hours away from our 'learned' advice. Sort of scary, but then also, sort of uplifting. Knowing that you are YOU and that this journey is not one for us to ask why would you want to do this...but why not!
