We loaded up the car and waved goodbye to a confused looking Scout who knows bad things are coming when my small travel suitcase makes an appearance (don't worry, she is in great hands and will have a fun time this weekend!). The drive is one that we have done many times and we had planned our lunch stop at Emporia, which is about half way. We drive on I-95 for about 60 miles as we head north out of NC in to Virginia, and this time we were in the middle of a snowbird migration! We passed RV's and SUV's from Ontario, Quebec, Rhode Island and Vermont, all heading back north now that the colder weather has been replaced by Spring (and before Florida gets too 'hot').
Probably the most interesting part of our journey was when we were having lunch at Subway in Emporia. We noticed a motorcycle pull up and there was something a little strange about it... I have no idea whether this is legal! (yes... that is a road cycle attached to the back of a motorcycle!)
We stopped off in Newport News and Gloucester to see family and friends and had a very tasty dinner at Al Fresco (I had spaghetti and meatballs to help my carbo-loading).
We eventually made it to the Doubletree Virginia Beach at about 9:30 and after unloading the car, headed to bed.
We plan to go to the Race Expo on Saturday and watch the two kids races at 10:30am and 11:00am. Other than that, we hope to have a relaxing day by the beach and an early night!
