We left Phoenix last week to make our way (slowly) back to Maryland. Along the way we stopped in Tulsa to see our oldest son Christopher and his lovely bride Rachael. As always, it was great to see them. Also great were the temperatures in the mid-60's; in fact, the day we left the forecast was for 70 degrees.
On Wednesday we drove from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Jackson, Tennessee, a distance of 486 miles. I've driven that distance in a single day in a car many times however it's a little different in an RV. Really need to pay attention to keeping that big rig between the lines; especially fun when an 18 wheeler blasts by, blowing you onto the shoulder.
On Thursday we did it again, driving from Jackson, TN to Wytheville, Virginia. Except, as we drove across the Tennessee border into Virginia, we hit snow showers. Can you believe it?
Mary Lynn's immediate response? -- "Turn this RV around and go south until we find warm weather" said in a rather severe tone. Actually, she said that repeatedly as I tried to find a way to get all the snow off of the wipers.
We stayed at a campground in Wythevile and woke to about an inch of snow this morning. The roads were a mess so we purposely started late before driving from Wytheville to our home in Monrovia, Maryland.
Strong, gusty winds made the trip interesting however we arrived safe and sound around 6 pm this evening. Feels good to be back in a 'full sized' house again. I opened the refrigerator and just stood there staring at the luxury of space. Wow!
Mary Lynn kept caressing the dishwasher; so much so that if the dishwasher was alive I'd be worried.
See Ya!
