Thanksgiving Day we headed out to Chicago - quite a long drive! Our spirits were high though and we were eager to make good time.
Boy did we ever! Thanksgiving is a great day to travel... everyone is cooking :o) We noticed a strong contingent of DC license plates on the PA turnpike - clearly the smart individuals beating the Thanksgiving-Eve DC traffic.
Jon let me sleep for quite awhile before I had my shift, and we regularly switched on and off in about 3 hour shifts from then on. Boy were we grateful for all the rest stops that were open, even on Thanksgiving! I hope all the hard workers got a good meal once they got home.
My favorite memory: Having our own dance party at a gas station in Indiana, when the station was blaring pop music, we were utterly restless, and there was no one around :o) Got the jitters out, and we were ready for the last leg of a long trip!
All my other favorite memories: The ones I didn't make because I was sound asleep while Jon was driving. Easy way to make a 12 hour car ride feel more like 7 hours.
