First stop--Columbus, Ohio

Today my parents and I left Southeastern PA quite early in the morning, thus kicking off our westwardly trek across the country. We arrived in Columbus at around 3:30 pm after driving around 450 miles. We visited with my cousin Josh and ate at Don Pablo's. It was great seeing him and catching up with my cuz. Josh has just started graduate school, both his own studies and teaching a freshman writing course. We're only here in Columbus for one night. Tomorrow, we're on our way to St. Louis. I'm excited to have this opportunity to travel with my parents and see new places. Our ultimate destination is Tucson, AZ to visit my sister, Katie. She is a first-year grad student at the University of Arizona. I can't wait to see her and spend about a week in Tucson.
