The Taurus has landed...

...landed at least for the night. We have had a good travel day. It is still a beautiful drive...but a bit drier than last month. We have had an uneventful travel day...a very good thing. At one of the rest stops, Woody got out of our car and was walking down the sidewalk, when someone said "hi, Woody." It was someone from his work...a small world! At another rest stop there was a line about 50 deep waiting for the ladies' restroom...all of a sudden one of the ladies left the line and it looked like she went to the men's restroom...but there was another ladies' restroom. Watching from the car we weren't sure what was happening...and there was a gentleman who really looked confused when the ladies started heading toward the men's restroom. The reason for so many in line was a tour bus...they were heading to Cape Cod.

We started around 9:30am and got here at 4:30pm central time. At times it seemed like we were just going on vacation...but then reality would set in...and I would realize where we are heading! Woody seemed to do well with the drive, but I think that it wore him out more than he would admit! He dozed for a while after we got settled in our room. We drove 350 miles today...stopped at Fort Chiswell, VA...the same place that we have stayed twice before. As we got off the interstate and headed toward the hotel, we decided that it was "deja vu, all over again!" The temperatures are quite pleasant here with low humidity. It has been a very pretty day...blue sky, big puffy clouds...no rain...nice day for a drive!

Now to see if I can relay...what I thought was hilarious in the middle of the night...I think that one had to be there to see the hilarity of the situation...and, to be me...and not Woody. Woody got up and stubbed his toe on the bathroom door...even though he had the light on. Now, that wasn't all that funny...he really did hurt his toe. What got funny was our conversation after it happened...Woody said in a very pitiful voice that at least he had taken pain medicine before he did it...that he had planned ahead very well for stubbing his toe (or something to that effect). Well, at that hour in the night, I got tickled and got to laughing. I laughed so hard that I then couldn't get to sleep...and kept chuckling over his comment. And, he kept saying that it was all my fault...because I hadn't kept him from doing it! It really wasn't funny...and he is limping today.

We have been given a handicap hotel room...maybe we need it...perhaps they saw him limping in to register!

So...there you have our adventures of the day (and night!). We should be in Bethesda tomorrow at this time. I have changed my watch over to Eastern time so we will be on time for appointments on Monday and Tuesday!
