Go, Stop, Go, Stop, Stop, Stop, Stay, Sit

BLOG ON THE ROAD, Day 2
Go, Stop, Go, Stop, Stop, Stop, Stay, Sit


Oh what a day!

It started with a good breakfast and a nice antique store.  Then we headed up Interstate 81 for the Roanoke area and more antiques, before going to Luray Caverns Motel.

We stopped in Christiansburg (wonder if they’ll make them change the name with the Supreme Court is finished tearing up the Constitution) for lunch at the Bluebird Café with plans for an antique store two doors down.  We decided to head on for Roanoke, and when we were an hour away we got caught in a monstrous parking lot.  A tractor-trailer had caught fire about 30 miles ahead and it took us over 2.5 hours to make the 30 miles.  So we just came on to the motel, checked in, and went to a Mexican restaurant for supper.

Our goal for the trip is to never eat at a restaurant whose name we recognize.  So far, three good meals and one just so-so (that would be last night’s truck stop dinner and the 30 year old baked potato).

I’m tired.  I’ll try to be clever tomorrow.
