We are in Ohio!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day we arrived, we were treated to heavy rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, you get an idea of what we drove through and what we arrived at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First photo at the house with all the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First impression? They love the house and all the space we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried my best to motivate everyone to get the trailer unloaded in one day. I ended up saying that we could sleep at a hotel if we got everything unloaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That did the trick. Kind of.. I must admit that I ended up hauling out the majority of the things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next morning, we drove to a Tim Hortons (as they have some Harry Potter-themed items).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were also only a few miles from West Virginia, so we crossed over, and on the way back home, crossed into Pennsylvania as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is a good number of states we visited before we slept our first night in the new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following day was sunny, and Arabella was able to get out and mow the lawn. As much as she loves having a bigger yard, she hates how big the front and back are when it comes to mowing the lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are getting quotes on things in the house to get fixed up, so more on that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
