On the Road Once More

The rest stops on the Ohio and Pennsylvania turnpikes are the same as every.
We drove from Ann Arbor to Fairfax, VA today.

Two years ago, everyone was masked. Now very few are masked.

Same gourmet foods.

Then, most of the food places were closed — now all are open.

  2. It's amazing looking back at when we were all shut down fearing Covid. Now few people even think about it anymore. Have fun on your trip and stay safe, please.

  4. Love going to Starbucks - or any coffee shop really - when we travel. It's a special treat for the road (or plane as the case may be). Have a great weekend.

  5. I love the turnpike rest areas. Ours are prettier but theirs are so much more useful!

  8. It's nice to be traveling again. I feel grateful for simple things, things I once took for granted, things like having businesses open, things like gourmet food, things like rest stops.

    I look forward to seeing more about your adventures on the road, Mae.

  11. Wow! Those rest stops are amazing! All we found on our Arkansas-Los Angeles road trip were gas stations with convenience stores, but at least I did get a yummy, fresh, chocolate-frosted donut at one of them!

    Safe travels Mae and enjoy every minute.
