Well, I'm packed and ready to take off on Sunday morning. We have reservations for the first five nights and I'm working on the rest. Problem is that the Spousal Equivalent gets picky about hotels/motels. All I want is clean and safe. Thrifty is good, too. I'm not paying $200 a night. I want them to be near the attractions I'm interested in, too.
He's also a "let's-get-there-with-the-fewest-stops-and-side-trips-possible" type and I'm an "Oooh-look-at-that! Let's-stop" type. If you have both of those types in a car, someone is going to be unhappy.
Anyway, after the memorial service in Virginia (it seems like all our vacations are worked in around funerals and memorial services.....which is what happens when you have lots of cousins), we're heading to West-by-God-Virginia to tour an historic lunatic asylum (haunted, of course), a glass-blowing facility, a coal mine tour, an arts center, as many waterfalls as possible, caverns, and a historic town where there is a church his 4-greats grandfather founded. Oh, an any battlefield we come across.
