Back seat view you DO NOT want to see.

We only got lost once (well if you don't count the other two times) but we called Eric who gave us an escort and straightened us out.

Another Road Trip

I'll be leaving tomorrow for another road trip to Charlottesville. Have to go to a 3 day conference on having our police department getting accreditation from the state. One of the main things (besides all of the extra paperwork) that this will do for our department is make it more accountable for everything we do.

I hope to get to see Eric and Heather since they will be only 15 minutes away from our motel.

Here's an odd thought that someone mentioned to me the other day...When someone asks for directions, do you give it to them in miles or the time it takes to get there? As in how far is Bristol from here? Answer...about an hour or about 50 miles.

Expecting

Just got back from Charlottesville where I helped my son Eric and his wife Heather move. In anticipation of him being transferred back to this area ( he's now 2nd on the list for the next opening in Scott County) they have sold their home and moved into an apartment. While there we found out that they are expecting their first child sometime next September.

I took my camera to take pictures but we were so busy moving that I really forgot about doing it. You want to try something really exciting?...try driving a 16 foot rental truck in downtown Charlottesville while trying to follow and keep up with someone while they go from lane to lane in bumper to bumper traffic. Wouldn't have been so bad if I knew where I was going but I didn't even know where I was. I really dislike driving those trucks. That's why I gave up driving a school bus.

I was supposed to stay for a police conference at the academy in Staunton but it was canceled due to bad weather. We hit ice and snow coming home today. Had to stop several times to deice the car but we made it with no major problems.
