To Virginia

Early this morning, or late last night - depending on how you look at it - we began our road trip to Virginia for the holidays.

According to Google Maps, the trip should have taken 12 hours and 42 minutes. According to our new GPS (thanks Dave & Cathy), the trip should have taken 13 hours and 22 minutes.

At 3:00AM, we were out of bed and finishing the packing of the Honda. By 3:25, we were on the road heading north. We stopped for gas/snacks/bathrooms three times along the way and to switch drivers. We pulled into the driveway in Virginia at 4:30PM; just over 13 hours later. Not bad.

The biggest surprise about the trip was the lack of cities along the way. Other than Jacksonville, Florida, there were no major cities until we reached (and bypassed) Richmond, Virginia.
