Our Across Country Move- Arriving in Maryland

Due to the storm we changed our original route from Tennessee down through Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. It added an extra day onto our drive and we didn't really stop and see much since we had previously planned all of our previous detours. I'd say the planning of our detours seemed to be the most time consuming part of planning this trip. So our across country road trip took a total of 7 days but we managed to stay in between the two storms that were occurring. So far we absolutely LOVE our new state! We are renting an apartment in a community that used to be a farm. The dairy farm is still there and is also a community garden! The transportation system is wonderful, just like Korea. We are able to take the bus and subway anywhere. We haven't explored DC yet but I'm sure we will this coming weekend. The buildings are very cute, colonial style mostly. When choosing this place I discovered a wonderful site that tells you what's within walking distance of your house! Almost everything is within walking distance and what isn't is very accessible by the bus. You can try it by visiting www.walkscore.com. I have a jogging stroller that we can attach Lillian's car seat to until she is big enough to sit up by herself. Below are some pictures of our community.
