1st Leg (6/9/10)

Dorothea arrived at our house in Winder right on time!  We loaded up all our gear and hit the road.  The only bittersweet moment was leaving our furry child at Winding Creek Kennels.  She is going to have a great time but Daddy was emotionally torn up about leaving his baby behind.  He seems to have recovered as we sit in Luray Virginia.  I'm getting ready to do my online class work and he is watching TV.  Dorothea is staying connected on her phone and trying to make plans with Aunt Karen for Sunday. 

Virginia is absolutely beautiful!  We are surrounded by beautiful mountains and a charming atmosphere.  We heard about the Luray Caverns which are supposed to be really spectacular.  Has the worlds biggest instrument inside that bounces off the rocks.  I bet it sounds amazing! Tommy had some great chicken wings from Anothony's Brick Oven Pizza...the pizza was great too!




We developed a rule on the road (in North Carolina really), what happens in Dorothea's Car stays in Dorothea's Car...except for this bit.

Gas for the car - $60
Fast Food - $40
Dorothea's Speeding Ticket - $? (we will know in August when Dorothea goes back to Charlotte for reckless driving and going 91 in a 65 o.O)
A lifetime of endless blackmail - Priceless.

Now I need to eat and go to class, all from the hotel room!
