As I mentioned before, my mom purchased the Literacy Lab about a month ago, but we did not have the van until now, due to the seats and windows having to be put in! But this weekend, my mom picked the van up and is currently in route from Orlando, FL to West Palm Beach, FL where my uncle at West Gate Sheet Metal is going to put in bookshelves. We’ve been talking about this for so long, that we are super excited to be moving forward. The next step is wrapping the van. My mom has been working with a graphic designer to design the van wrap, and from the proofs I’ve seen so far, it will be fabulous. Mad scientist in a laboratory of books! Hopefully that will be done by the end of May so I can post pictures!

Our official start date is now (drum roll, please) Friday, May 27th when my mom and her best friend Claire will drive the van to New Jersey. After that, my mom and sister Allie will drive it out to Seattle, where I will have it for the summer. (Which means, eek, I need to find somewhere to park it and figure out where we’ll be going…summer is rapidly approaching). Keep an eye out!
