So I made this return trip for decades, generally from Wisconsin when visiting my mom and family. But of late the drive was from deeper in the Midwest. Day 1 to Indianapolis; Day 2 home.
But driving 11.5 and then 10.5 hours takes its toll. I always take a break at a beautiful rest stop a few miles short of Morgantown, West Virginia, and decide if I want to endure the last 4.5 through the DC beltway.
Lately, at the rest stop, I hike a bit and log onto my Marriott App and book a room with a comfortable Jacuzzi tub, and in ten minutes, I am checked in.
Generally I trudge on through and end up happy to sleep in my bed that night.
That’s where I am right now – the drive through the beltway can wait until tomorrow.
And I-68 seems at its peak in color. No rush to get home!
