WE'RE OFF

We hit the road Friday around 1pm with my dear sister and her girls waving us off. It was a bittersweet moment with three out of five Cashman's in tears. We drove for awhile, maybe two hours before Gabe started to get sick. He continued feeling that way until 8 that night after throwing up one last time. Poor little man. Not the way we thought our first day would be. But we dealt with it, prayed for him and by that evening he was out riding bikes.
Our first night we stayed in Rockwood, PA near Somerset. Our campground was nice with baby goats and a donkey that the kids just loved to feed. We walked, talked and rode bikes. It is a real joy to be on this journey together even with life's ups and downs.
A few minor glitches with the trailer. It blew out some thing on the tire that spewed oil everywhere and now there is a bend in the hitch part. John can only see one side of the trailer while driving it is that crooked. SOOO we might have to purchase a new one or get that one welded. However in hindsight, which never serves us well it probable wasn't the best trailer for this adventure. I think we need one a little bigger and more sturdy. We shall see how this turns out. To be continued
Now we find ourselves in Ohio on Lake Erie. In a wonderful town called Geneva- on- the- Lake. My kids refuse to believe that it is a lake because it is ssoooo big. We hope to explore the town which is similar to a boardwalk at the beach minus the boards but with all the shops and eateries.
I hope to get some pictures on here within the day or so. And a virtual map so you can follow our path. Until then...
