We woke up in Tennessee this morning. We crossed Virginia, the hard way. Or is that the long way? Whichever it was 325 miles worth. I-81 then slices along the edge of W. Virginia. I made the required remarks, never fear! Then through Maryland and into Pennsylvania.
The kids' states changed as well. It didn't take long for the excitement of the morning to fade and we were required to provide updates every 10 minutes on how much farther we had to go. I showed Sophie a map of Virginia at one rest stop. She asked "where, on this map, do my cousins live?" Well, seeing as they live in Massachusetts, nowhere. The whining started after 3 more DVDs. "Yes, we know you are bored!" She eventully fell asleep (passed out?). Her mood had not improved upon awakening shortly before 6pm. She was tired of sitting in her car seat. Not that I blame her - she had been sitting in it since 9am with short breaks.
Ben, as usual for a 3 year old, has been cheerful, whiny, hungry, scared, wanting to be rained on, etc.
Yeah, there were a few quick downpours to drive through. All were moving quickly to the east.
The lure of an indoor swimming pool determined our end point for this day's travels. Debbie and the kids are there now. I'm looking into somewhere to eat.
Wow, I had to plug in an ethernet cable in this place!
