We're in Virginia. Wytheville to be exact. Today started in Atlanta and the first stop was at a Cracker Barrel in Gaffney, SC. We failed to calculate how much time that would take given it was a Sunday morning in the south, at noon after church. But the wait wasn't too bad and the food was good. I finally found a meal to fill the growing 11 year old; Sunday's special, 2 fried chicken breasts, 2 veggies, and biscuits!
Our next stop was in Gastonia, NC to go to a nice little natural History Museum, The Schiele Museum and Planetarium. We spent 2 hours learning about evolution, wildlife, sealife, and the natural erosion process along the Outer Banks. The kids got to be out of the car, see stuff, learn stuff, and buy stuff in the gift shop. A perfect outing.
Then it was 2 and a half more hours to our hotel. Laundry (still in progress) and the pool were at the top of the list and now everyone is showered and in bed watching TV.
Tomorrow it's a early start so we can see the best of Skyline Drive.
Yawn, stretch, time for bed.
