There have been so many "good-bye" moments over the last few days. Gabby will begin her Freshman year of college in a few days. The farewells were not as I would have predicted. I imagined Gabby slipping out of town, with very little fan-fare, calling as little attention to herself as possible. It didn't go down like that at all. There was a weekend full of parties, sleepovers, get-togethers and tears. On Monday, as we packed Gabby up, at the last minute, there continued to be a stream of friends and family stopping by to give Gabby hugs, kisses and wishes of good luck. At one moment there were 5 girls on the couch, then girls outside having a picnic in the yard, girls crying in the living room and then aunts, cousins, grandma and more friends stopping by.
Finally, around mid-night Gabby was packed and ready to go.
By 6:00 am we were in the car, heading west.

We are on our way to San Jose State University. It's our family road trip to take Gabby to college!
I slept through Iowa. Apparently there is not much to see in that state anyway.
Nebraska was a coffee stop and an Instagram photo opportunity.
I couldn't resist taking a picture of the Poop Deck sign!
We have settled in Wyoming for the night. Dinner, some TV, blogging and a comfy bed!
More states to pass through tomorrow.
