And away we go! TK's steady driving in his new GMC Acadia, as well as the dry roads and barely any snow paved our way south today. We did not get on the highway until about 9 a.m. (gas and car wash, for one thing). Eight and a half hours is a long time as we reached our first night's hotel at 5:30 p.m.
TK prepared his famous tuna fish sandwiches and we stopped in Flatwoods, WV, for lunch. That stop included a run into the Fiesta store, even though our dear daughters in law could open a store to sell the Fiesta dishes they already have. I could not resist a new light blue plate, one for each. TK said we may not return to Erie on the route we usually take, so that's it for new Fiesta.😓
For entertainment we listened to James Patterson's book, First Gentleman. TK figured out how to download books and this is working out well for us. I did learn that this audio book is 11 hours and 1 minute. I think we are one third of the way in and that will work out well. It is a "thriller" with plenty of suspense.
Other than that, today's trip was quite ordinary--a patch of deer, hardly any snow, less traffic than last year (we left earlier in January in 2025), beef cattle grazing, a hawk soaring every now and then, and sun!!
I, for one, am hoping for a Steeler win tonight! We are settled in and finished our second tuna sandwich for dinner.
