We drove from Durham to Somerset yesterday, a trip that took us 8 hours and 45 minutes. We had packed most of our things on Friday. Saturday morning we packed the remaining items. We were on the road at 11.45 am, after a stop at the gas station and at Starbucks. We also stopped by the apartment office where Sinterklaas had sent us a very nice present (thank you!)

As soon was we entered Virginia we started seeing snow on the ground and quickly we were driving through a snow storm. Traffic was light though throughout the whole trip and it wasn't freezing yet.

We arrived just in time to do some grocery shopping (the store closes at 9.00 pm here). Comparing NC to NJ? To have to drive to a liquor store 10 minutes away to pick up a bottle of wine or a six pack of beer is silly in NJ, but the bread is definitely better in NJ.
