Yesterday, we drove a hellish 400 miles. We covered 7 states and the entire ride was a white knuckle …rrrrr. Today was awesome! We covered 1 state, Virginia, 300 miles and the traveling difference was like night and day. There was considerably less traffic, the road was smooth, the scenery was beautiful and the majority of drivers were courteous.
I love the rolling hills of Virginia. I asked David if we could take Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park. He looked at me like I had three heads. I won’t even repeat what he said, but he didn’t call me a pain in his A– . So I’m still doing good 🙂 It is still only day two … stay tuned for day three 🙂
E T is doing awesome. I am a Catholic, but just in case there is a remote chance of reincarnation, I would love to come back as a pet treated like E T. We added another 20 miles to our trip today to take her walking/doggie dipping at Steele Creek Park, in Bristol, TN and then drove 10 miles back to Bristol, Virginia to a #1 Pet Friendly, Motel 6 for the night.
I’m just going to add a quick note about Motel 6’s. Last night we stayed at the Winchester, VA “6” ($52.99). We stayed here last month and the room we stayed in was fine. Last night we had a different room, in a different “wing” and I thought it was “run down and dirty”. Tonight we are in a Motel 6 in Bristol, VA ($59.00) and this room is as nice or nicer than many bigger “name” and more expensive hotels where we’ve stayed. Go figure!
Needless to say, I’m really looking forward to picking up our RV tomorrow.
