Rolling up the road
We left Atlanta around 6:00 Wed evening and did not even think about stopping until Commerce. Please forgive any misspelling the bandage on my thumb slows me down a little. Anyway had to have a Zac snack for the road. I think we must have been in a time warp because the speedometer said 70 but after 6 hours we were only 300 miles up the road just south of Blacksburg Virginia. Kim says they have a lot of very nice welcome centers in SC, NC, & VA. At around 1:30 we stopped at a Virginia welcome center to take a rest for a few hours. I felt pretty safe with all the tuckers parked around. It is a little cramped with all 6 of us. Kim volunteers me to sleep on the queen bed in the back with P&T and I make the bad decision to get in the middle. I woke up around 3:00 to go the restroom, we still have not broken the seal on the RV. Tell me why the night watchman is one of those guys from the movies with one eye checking the stars and the other looking for rats on the ground? That was not so bad but why was he standing only 45 feet from my RV? I finally settle backdown and wake up to Turner six inches from my face looking me in the eyes and exclaiming the he had dreamed he was an Ostrich and so was Parker. No more sleep for Sam. Lets get rolling. We make pretty good time while everyone is sleeping. Hayden & I notice a little extra noise and realized that the window in the side door has slipped a little bit. No big deal just tighten it a little or worse case stop at Walmart and get a squeeze tube of silicone. When everyone wakes up, we stop at the Walmart near Woodstock VA to get a few supplies and work on the door. Easy fix take out a few screws, silicone the window back in place and back on the road. While working on the window it slips a few times cuts my thumb no stitches required just a tourniquet, and gets silicone all over me. Luckily Lowes was close by and we got a new piece of glass back on the road and headed to Gettisburg.
