Day 9: A typical day
by Andrew JohnsonNothing much at all to report for today. We were supposed to get hammered with heavy weather, but it was clear driving for the most part – except for the last 20 miles which were filled with high winds and heavy rain. Annie got her first taste of pulling a huge load behind a vehicle (and I’m not talking about Afghan hounds) – she drove the trailer for the first time. Excellent job for a newbie! Finally got internet access at the hotel tonight (Lebonan, TN) – so if you got this, it worked!
Beautiful country for driving…lower Virginia, Eastern Tennessee ending up about 20 miles east of Nashville…Just tooling along with all of the other holiday travelers (lots of them!!!) singing along with the Dixie Chicks and the Coors and lots of Christmas music….Our Thanksgiving destination is Graceland baby….I mean, how often do you have an opportunity to do something as outrageous as visiting the King on Thanksgiving???? We are on the lookout for a tacky diner or a great rib joint in Memphis for our holiday dinner celebration….Shouldn’t be a problem….We are sending all of you our very best wishes for a warm, belly filling and grateful Thanksgiving as we continue on the road…
