On the Road

When Will and I were driving home to KY last week, we stopped at Will's required stop: Waffle House. If we don't stop there at least twice on the trip, he gets very very upset. And you don't want to be in the car with Will when he doesn't get his egg and cheese sandwich followed by a waffle...

So, we had finished our first trip to Waffle House on the 10 hour drive to KY from DC and were gwtting back on the road to go 270 to 70 to 68 to 77 to 64 to 265 to 42. (Got that?) We were waiting for the signs to go to 70 from 270 when I noticed a sign that said 15 and Will noticed a sign that says "Gettysburg."

Ahem. Somehow we messed up. the only explanation is that we didn't pay attention to the signs when we got back on the road from Waffle House. We were basically about 20 minutes from Gettysburg and thought either we could turn around or we could go through Gettysburg, which is what we did (they have a nice battlefield you can drive by...). We then hit 81 and went down to join 68. Yeah, a two-hour delay to our trip. So, we did 270 to 15 to 30 to 81 to 70 to 68 to 77 to 64 to 265 to 42. We are brilliant drivers and navigators.

But, it wasn't all a loss! We did see a Maryland state park named for us! It might even be enough to convince me to go camping.... well, let's be real. I have never camped and don't intend to start at my age. But, it may get me to go on a day hike.
