Hiya, folks! I just got back from an awesome trip to the World… and then some! I have school starting tomorrow, so excuse any possible delays on posting. Today, I don’t think I’ll even get to WDW with the updates! I’ll writethe report, then put the pictures with captions in the second half.
On with the show!
Day 1: Virginia Company
My family and I woke up around 5 a.m., though truth be told, I doubt anyone got much sleep. We loaded up the car (I think my dad would do wonders playing Tetris…), and left the house about 8 in the morning.
Gee, after that last paragraph, we’re REALLY off to an interesting start.
Anyway, I don’t suppose there’s much to say about today. A few notes from what I recall:
- For some reason, Mapquest had us cut clear across Ohio’s heartland to West Virginia, instead of taking the Turnpike to I-77 at Cleveland. However, it was actually a lot more interesting to drive that way, as there was a lot of different scenery changes I didn’t expect.
- Ate at “the ol’ standby”, Steak ‘n Shake, just before Columbus. The first time we ate here was just outside WDW almost 6 years ago, and I’ve loved it ever since. P.S. To the servers: Is it really that weird to order a Side-By-Side shake with chocolate mint and orange Freeze?… :lookaroun
- Just before hitting West Virginia, there were some really spectacular clouds overhead. It made the scenery look close to perfect.
- We finally arrived in Beckley, WV, around 4 p.m., and did a bit o’ shopping… well, kinda. The family did shopping, while I played some songs on some $25000 digital piano. I was amused, if not briefly.
“Ze Photos”
Either those are the weirdest clouds I’ve ever seen, or a thousand jets streaked across the sky without me knowing.
If only I’d put the camera settings to 1024x768 instead of the lowest resolution.
Ooh, the Ohio River… no one’s EVER seen this shot before.
Welcome to redneck country!
OMG! They painted the Capitol Building GOLD!
…And that’s it for the pics today. Not much you can do sitting around in the car for 8 hours.
Tomorrow, we visit North and South Carolina! (*holds cue card* “Ooh, aah!”)
On with the show!
