Ellie, Kimbrey, Milo, me, and Hannah
My trip started with a trip to Indy on a Megabus. Being a nervous Nellie, I showed up twenty minutes early afraid it would leave without me. This was a great decision as it was 35, snowing, and very windy. Obviously, the bus came over an hour late at the exact time I was paying for a coffee across the street, necessitating a panicked run with my excessively large suitcase and backpack. But I made it!
And I had coffee and a donut, so I was a happy camper, even though I was very awkward trying to juggle these things while getting out my kindle for the long ride. Somewhere around this time I realized I forgot my toiletries, iPod, headphones, and stuffing for my little hexagons which had seemed like the perfect project to work on during my travels. I'm not the best packer. I had a traumatic incident as a kid when I was too embarrassed to tell anyone I forgot to pack underwear for my week long trip, so I learned that it's okay to admit you messed up and took a few trips for toiletries already. One day I'll grow up, I swear. But now that I have a toothbrush (did I mention I forgot my replacement on my first night in Columbus? ... geez), toothpaste, mascara, and hair clips I should probably survive. I'm in a house full of ladies, so I should be able to hunt down the rest.
Hannah was gracious enough to pick me up in Indy so we could drive all the way to Columbus together (thank you again, beautiful!). We could definitely tell we were in Ohio when we parked behind a car sporting this ridiculous magnet:
