Today, we drove to Bob and Noreen’s new place in North Carolina. We stretched what would have been a marathon one-day trip into two. We first headed east through Kentucky, before dropping south to Tennessee, crossed the Appalachians and then on into the Carolinas. In our travels, we have encountered two huge construction backups, but fortunately they were both in the opposite direction. Thanks, Joe Biden! We might return home via Tennessee to avoid them, as if there is no construction going on there. We had originally planned to overnight in Nashville, but when we plugged in last night’s date, the hotel rate went from $100 to $1000. It turns out the Country Music Awards were going on. Maybe on the way back. So far the weather has been pretty good. Not too hot!
