On the road, especially on the Ohio and Pennsylvania turnpikes, from Ann Arbor to Fairfax, VA. The rest stops offered food and drink — like Starbucks — but we brought all our own water bottles, snacks, and sandwiches. Inside the buildings everyone is masked. The roads were not crowded, and the trip went very quickly.

| On the Pennsylvania Turnpike you can still almost tell that the rest stops were originally Howard Johnsons. |

It's nice to live life again! Here we are still in lockdown and probably won't be over until the end of April :-((
ReplyDeleteWhere are you off to?
ReplyDeleteIt´s a start. We go backwards again. Again... again...
ReplyDeleteIt must feel good to be on the road again. I am still not going anywhere, so I am delighted to follow you on your new ventures. One thing about the PA turnpike. They have the cleanest rest stops around.
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long. It must feel good to be making trips out again.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on venturing out. I am so ready for a change of scenery!
ReplyDeleteIt’ll be a lovely feeling to be out and about again, I’m looking forward to being able to do it soon!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize this was your T Tuesday post. I must have my coffee, but Starbucks places emphasis on the BUCKS, especially the ones I save when I don't drink theirs (grin). Happy T this Tuesday as you wander through the highways and byways of OH and PA.
ReplyDeleteYou must be thrilled to be on a road trip. How exciting. Are you off to see family? Have a safe trip and happy T day.
ReplyDeleteRoad trips are fun but it is always nice to get home. Hope you had fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
That is one long road trip-wow! Glad it all has gone well. Like you, I bring our own food and drink whenever I can;) Happy T day!

ReplyDeleteIt's so good that you're able to travel - enjoy !
ReplyDeletewe traveled those roads many times
ReplyDeletePleased to see that you can get out and travel! We felt quite naughty just travelling the 10 miles trip out to Dunham! Have fun, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteNice to see you are taking a trip. We are still staying home so all my travels are vicarious at this point. Was unable to make it for Tea today but wanted to wave at you anyhow.
ReplyDeleteVery nice trip. I have been to VA and I really like it there.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to be traveling. I hope we can make a trip to visit the Eldest in W. PA this Summer. Take care and safe travels!
ReplyDeleteRest stops look the same the world over. They are needed for toilet stops, but like you, we usually bring our own refreshments.
ReplyDeleteWhere have you been going? Somewhere nice? Or was it work?
I'm late again commenting. But have a valid excuse this time, I was busy celebrating my birthday!
Happy belated T-Day,
Lisca
It is fun to be able to do things again! We drove an hour to go out to eat, but that is the extent of our travel. We hope to take a trip soon. Happy belated T or coffee day for you.
