a retraction
alas, i spoke too soon in my last post. my mom and i will not be driving to pittsburgh--the only supporter we had for the driving plan was joey, and all other family members spoke out against it. so we hunted and found a good deal on airfare, so now we will be flying in to pittsburgh very late thursday night (the 7th) and leaving very early tuesday morning (the 19th). we are still looking forward to the trip!!! but i'm sorry--in general and particularly to lizzy--that we won't be driving through the mountains.
