Days 1 & 2: Staunton to Columbia

I've had a lovely two days thus far.

Saturday I woke up early, did all my errands, went to work and felt sad that it was my last day there. I left a note telling everyone how much I would miss them, since I was closing. I left right after work, at 4, and drove straight to my mom's place in Columbia, Maryland. DC traffic is insane... I kinda like it. We watched Ocean's 11 until I fell asleep.

Sunday, me and mom went to the Great Sage for brunch. Delicious vegan and vegetarian food! We had mocha pancakes and I had chai tea made with soy. Really tasty, and actually filled me up. Thanks mum for getting the bill! After that we went to the Arundel Mills mall... Oh, civilization! It's a giant, one-story mall full of outlet stores. I checked in on Foursquare and they told me to go to Guest Services and pick up a coupon book, which gave me free fudge from Bass Pro Shops. I wasn't sure whether to get the Mint Chocolate or the Irish Cream, but I knew Ben would like the mint so I went with that. I had a delicious pineapple smoothie that had chunks of pineapple in it (no artificial pineapple), and went into giant shoe stores (oh, so many shoes!). Sadly, the current fashion is peep-toe, which hurts my feet. So every pretty shoe was pain on a stiletto. :-(

My mom also discovered I had a hole in my pants. So I had to buy new pants. Oh the sorrow...

Ben finally got in around midnight. Traffic in 3 different cities conspired against him.

Well, here's the start of Day 3... about to get in the car and go to NYC!!!!!!!
