We woke up early, the sun was shining into the Subaru. We decided to drive for a while before stopping. We went through the border with West Virginia. There was a lot of uphill, we never got to a very high elevation.

| Our friends got us a gift card for Starbucks to use on our road trip, so I posted this photo to Facebook and tagged them |
We stopped at a Starbucks so I could try to get caught up on blogging.
Then later we stopped at Tudor's Biscuit World. It is a fast food restaurant that only exists in West Virginia. It was fun to try. The biscuits were very delicious. The toppings were things like shaved ham and American cheese slices. They had the same preformed hash brown patties like McDonald's, but jumbo. We definitely heard some accents, and everyone called me love or dear. It was cute.

| We were on the edge of town in the largest city in West Virginia, and still down the street was a steep wooded hill. It was so beautiful, but really rural |
It was a really beautiful drive. The drive down out of the mountains was a little steep.
It was very exciting getting to Virginia. It was making me very stressed out and anxious about random things.
The Welcome Center and rest stops are super nice.
We hit just a little bit of traffic as we got closer to the city. The interstate we were on, 64, goes right through Richmond, so we took that same road all day.

| Cutest gas station, it had a McDonald's in it, all the people were eating ice cream cones on the porch |
We thought we could stay with friends, but they just bought a house outside Richmond and are in the process of moving here from where they live right now in Texas. So we stayed in a hotel right off the interstate outside the city. It was okay. It did have a nice big parking lot, with room for the truck.
We were so tired at this point. We wanted to talk to dinner, but it turns out the major roads in the suburbs have no sidewalks or crosswalks, like some even worse version of Alderwood. So the only thing close enough to walk to was Bob Evans, very similar to Denny's. We had dinner. I was supposed to blog, but instead I went to bed before 9;00pm

Those runaway truck ramps are scary!!! There are a lot in Oregon. I remember seeing so many on the way back from Crater Lake, going down the mountain on the steep road and thinking, "wow I really hope we don't see any runaway trucks."
Right!!! I bet Oregon is steeper and longer. The mountains here are not very big.
