We got up and out of the hotel by 7:45, and on the road. It was pretty slow going for about 4 hours, encountering lots of snow. Nothing against West Virginians, but they don't know how to take care of snow. By the time we got out of WV, we saw 5 people off the road, most of me big trucks that had passed us on the highway! Though, I don't blame their driving completely. I think the entire WV snow plow fleet is comprised of about 4 trucks. And if put one of their trucks next to NY trucks, it's like a skinny middle schooler versus the Incredible Hulk.
After many stops, for lunch, stretch breaks, dinner breaks, refueling breaks, traffic, construction, and various other things. We finally made it to Orlando. Of course, Adam had fallen asleep, as it was past midnight. It was very neat seeing the signs for attractions, parks, and all the stuff Orlando has to offer. For what it's worth, the only sign we saw for attractions in West Virgina was for an Asylum. Um...I think I have a different idea for attractions than they do.
Upon reaching the house we are renting with the Kriegers, we promptly unloaded, did a quick tour of the house, and went to bed.
I ended the day tired, and achy from driving (though Lisa did a lot, I did a majority), but still felt blessed to be in a place that wasn't cold, and ready to spend time with friends and family that I care deeply about. This trip wouldn't be happening without my friend Brian Krieger. Thanks, brother.
