"We All Live in an Ice Blue Mazda 3"

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Beatles. The title of this post is a play on words with "Yellow Submarine". Now that that's clarified, WELCOME TO OUR BLOG :-). This is my (Taylor)'s first post on here. I will be hand writing a blog in a journal while in the car, and then typing it up here whenever we have internet.

Day 2 on the road!
The first day was WAY TOO crazy to have written anything, but here's a quick recap. Actually, let's start with Day negative one. You see, I decided to (against apartment rules) paint one wall in my room lime green in March. SO we needed to re-paint this wall as to not get charged. Justin and I got the first coat on...and ran out of paint. I bought new paint, and while I should have been packing, was painting my room, with a color that did not match. Oh well, then I went to my work to steal some music from my boss, burned 16 CDs of hers onto my computer. Maria and I went and bought things at Walmart, EMS, Barnes & Noble, Wegmans (Groceries), Hollywood Video, I got a tire fixed (found out my treads were bad) and then learned how to change a tire. We then packed everythinggg, loaded our car, and at 2AM went to our campus center to find internet service. (our apartment hasn't had service for a week now) We needed internet because we needed to book the entire trip basically... CAMPUS CENTER WAS CLOSED. So, we decided to wake up early, and get it all done.

the ACTUAL Day 1:
-said a few goodbyes/see you laters to some good friends :-\
-CLEANED the whole apartmen - i'm talking vaccuum, mopping, all dirty dishes, wiping down the shower/sink/toilet, reorganizing everything, i mean the WHOLE bit.
-booked our hostels, campgrounds, and couches
-got on the road to NJ, bought new tires - ate a homecooked meal - picked up a few other things
-got on the road to Towson MD
-stayed with my good buddies Andrew and Matt... a.k.a. MANDREW thanks boysss.
