Good Night, from VA!

This morning we picked up our rental car (free upgrade to a 2010 Toyota Camry (hybrid!) that runs so nice) and were on the road by 10:30.  The car is amazing...very spacious and handles wonderfully...it even came with satellite radio which is nice on a long trip.

We took 95 to CT then headed to 84W through NY and part of PA.  That whole stretch was mostly pretty river views and lots of naked trees.  We drove through Scranton, PA but unfortunately didn't see Jim, Pam, Michael and the gang ;).  Since then we've been on 81S and just arrived at a hotel past Blacksburg, VA.

I was amazed by how many actual farms, barns, and silos there were in Pennsylvania.  I'd always pictured it as being more city-like, but not in the areas that we drove through!  One cool thing we saw in PA was a whole long row of windmills in the distance...yay wind power!  Captain Planet would be proud.

Geoff was happy once we hit West Virginia because the speed limit goes up to 70...which I guess means he can drive 85 instead of 80.  I don't get boy math, but whatever.  Upon arriving in VA we were greeted by several giant crosses...we are definitely in Dixieland now!

We've had a lot of fun so far...I mean, all but a few quick rest stops were spent in the car...but there has been good music, pretty scenery and the excitement of being on vacation so we're having a great time!  I'm happy we are done driving for the day though...it gets exhausting after awhile!  Our camera wasn't working for a good part of the drive so I don't have any pictures to share today, but I promise to take some tomorrow.

Night all!
