Headed Home

Gloucester to Kingsport
Saturday June 9, 2018

Another good breakfast at this Quality Inn.  Not often you find Corned Beef Hash as a breakfast entree particularly in a breakfast buffet in a hotel!  But they had it here.  We like Corned Beef Hash but it is a pain to make and fairly expensive to purchase canned these days so don't have it often.  Remarkably it was excellent.

We had driven about 200 - 250 miles each day so far on this trip - Ben was not sure we should try 400+ miles home so we made reservation in Roanoke.  Ben also spoke with his friend in Marion to see if we could stop in for a short visit. We got started driving and the road was much better and not too much traffic.  Within an hour we were on I 64 and around Richmond. We were in Charlottesville and near I 81 and would be in Roanoke by 12:30!!  Listening to Chesapeake certainly takes your mind off the drive !  So we canceled the reservation and planned to drive all the way to Kingsport.

We stopped for gas and lunch about noon and Jane took over driving for about 100 miles and then Ben finished the trip.  We were home by 3:30 with neither of us too tired.  Think we may have our travel legs back!  Still have quite a bit of the book left - we are only up to 1700- not sure how far in history the book continues.  It is one Ben's phone so guess we can finish next trip we take!
