Tony and I got the word from Amanda that she would be induced soon, so we jumped on an airplane and headed to West Virginia. We flew into Pittsburgh, and rented a car for the drive south. It was beautiful country, beautiful weather, and we were excited about seeing Amanda, Jason, and TJ (who had driven to WV with his Uncle Paul).

On the way to West Virginia, Tony and I stopped at a little Italian restaurant on the river and enjoyed lunch outside on the patio. We hadn’t told Amanda that her Dad would be coming. She was so happy she cried when we pulled up to her door. We found out that they weren’t going to induce Amanda for a couple more days, so we all went to a local bowling alley and had a great time.
