It has been a good day to travel. We headed out a little before 5am central time and got to Fairfax right at 5pm eastern time...so right around 11 hours of traveling. We traveled 625 miles. We had a little of all types of weather...a little rain...very little...then we were in fog for a while...rather thick at times. I don't think that Woody ever got our fog lamps turned on...still don't know how to do several things in this car! The car got very good gas mileage...all in all a very comfortable/enjoyable ride. And, I don't think that Memorial Day added much to the normal amount that we get into. As a matter of fact during the early morning, there was less traffic due to most places not having school and a lot of businesses being closed. We saw lots of flags flying at half-mast...some overpasses had flags on them. And on one overpass there was a large group of boys waving flags and waving at the cars going under them. There was one huge flag flying from a cherry picker-type truck. Lots of remembering those who have lost their lives fighting for our freedom and thinking about and praying for those who currently protect us by serving in the armed services. Woody is currently quite happy as he has found the St. Louis Cardinal baseball game on TV. Before he found this I found HGTV...so that made me happy. Now I will read. It is good to be settled in for the night. We will get up and probably enjoy breakfast here at the hotel as Woody's tests are late enough that he will be able to eat if we get down as it opens. If he doesn't eat then he won't be eating till supper time as his tests run from 1pm till after 5pm. We will be staying in Bethesda,MD tomorrow night just around the corner from NIH so will be blogging from Pooks Hill the good Lord willin'!
