Kyle & Mom's excellent adventure

I dropped Kyle off at the airport Saturday morning. He made it to my mom's that evening and promptly started emptying her basement -- after dinner and some beers :) Kyle informed me later that night that he had decided he and my Mom were starting a new business, "your mom just doesn't know it yet." Apparently Mom's the packer, Gwenn (my mom's best friend and neighbor) is the cleaner, and Kyle is the mover. He just has to convince Gwenn to move to Texas. I asked him just exactly how many businesses he thought he could start at the same time with my mom. He said 5. What a joker.

At any rate, Mom and Kyle were on the road by 1:30 on Sunday. They stopped at the Maryland House rest stop (where mom learned from some random woman that Hershey Chocolate company is being sold to some company in Asia), they waved in Beth's general direction when they hit the beltway, they had dinner at Cracker Barrel, and they stopped for the night in Troutville, VA (just outside Roanoke). By the way, Kyle does not recommend the economy hotels in Troutville ;)

440 miles down, 1310 to go! I'll keep you posted ...
