Jan. 23- First Day of My Road Trip

The first day of my road trip was rather uneventful. I woke at up 8am, to find that the rest of my family was already awake and packing for our ride to DC. I was already packed, and spent some time cleaning up my room and trying to finish loose ends. We finally left around 10:15, and started driving. We stopped four times: for lunch in CT (pizza), snack in NY (ice cream), dinner in DE (food court), and finally just for a bathroom stop in MD. We arrived in Bethesda, MD around 8:30, and my brother and I went swimming in this nice pool with a Jacuzzi. It always amazes me that our family can just get in a car and drive for such a long time. Granted, there is always some petty fighting and a need for stopping, but in the end it all works out. And now I can say I’ve been to Delaware, the first (but not the smallest) state in the Union.
