We left Philadelphia in a rush on August 30th. Or more like we were rushed out of our apartment on that day. We let our landlord know that we would be out of our apartment by noon on August 30th, a full day early so that their team of painters/handymen could come in and get the apartment ready for the next tenant to move in Sept. 1st. Apparently there was going to be a great exodus of tenants that weekend and so the painters/handymen were trying to get an early start. Well, the painters showed up at like 9:30 am, basically hovering over us and standing in the doorways as we did last minute cleaning and tried to pack up our car in as organized a manner as possible under time constraints. It. Was. So. Annoying. We officially left the apartment at 11 am, and drove to the Woodland cemetery to enjoy our lunch of leftover pizza and soda from the night before. We couldn't enjoy it at the apartment, obviously, with so many impatient eyes staring daggers at us.
And so began our journey of taking a temporary (Well, what is most likely temporary. 70% sure. Clark is still waitlisted at Duke so who knows, we may get an email saying he's been fully admitted next week.) reprieve from Philadelphia/ adult life. As Clark puts it, we're on a "spiritual journey" to find ourselves. The road trip consisted of several stops before our final destination. First stop: Fayetteville, NC.
