I love road trips and love just looking out the window. I might check the phone once in a while when it beeps, but there's no reading or game playing, and I try to stay awake. I was successful today!
So here are some highlights of our day:
I like reading the signs along the way. First to inspire questions was "Shop at the Dude Mart". We didn't look for it but I wonder what they sell??
Saw a super big billboard advertising the Jerky outlet. We didn't look for that either, but really?? Is there a need? Perhaps they supply the Dude Mart???
We were behind a truck for a while with a bumper sticker that said "Do Not Bump". Shouldn't that just be common knowledge?
Then we hit some heavy back-up due to road construction in WV. It was creep and beep at about five miles an hour for quite a while. Golfer hit the detour button on the GPS and we got off at the first available exit. It was a nice ride. We went through small towns on a two lane road. First was Nitro. Zip! And we were through Nitro. Next was Poca, also quick. It was lunch time and we were ready to stop and came to Eleanor, WV. They had a lovely community park right on the main road. So nice!
The rest of the afternoon went well. Saw lots of corn fields, beautiful scenery. We got to our hotel in Miamisburg, Ohio. Quality Inn and Suites; clean, neat, and so far quiet. The lobby area is torn up for some remodeling.
Our friend, E, recommended Bullwinkle's barbecue and we found it. Very good. I think we ate too much. :)
We are back at the hotel now and in for the night. We are both tired.
Stay safe and God Bless America! It's beautiful!
