Traveler Notes

Half way!!

We are off again, next adventure is Washington DC. Saying goodbye to the beach is sad but also exciting for many more adventure.

We just pulled into a rest stop for a a break and it was very busy and pretty big, the traffic for miles before was at a crawl and we are pretty sure it was just because of the rest area … on a somber note going to places like that just brings you to the reality that COVID is still so real. I already get grossed out being so close to people in public areas and my nose is so sensitive to all the nasty smells 🤢.

We just past the welcomed sign for Virginia

In DC we have lots of plans and will keep posting all our steps

One thing we’ve learned thus far is that there are WAY more cops/highway patrol in Colorado!

And we agree we don’t understand traffic here, The highways don’t flow at all… which is strange because if it was like this in Colorado it would mean there was a wreck or something.. but there was never any thing wrong 🤷‍♀️
