Spring Vacation 2019, Day 1

I debated about sharing the first day of our vacation and the long, harrowing drive. Looking at the forecast for this weekend, however, it seemed appropriate.

We left home just before eight am two weeks ago yesterday. The forecast was abysmal, as Winter Storm Wesley was bearing down on Wisconsin. We thought somehow, we could outrun it, or at least that if we drove very slow, we could still make it halfway to Virginia. Right.

We arrived in Danville, Illinois, by quarter to six, a drive that should have taken us six and a half hours instead of ten, but we made it.

Are we ever going to be done with winter?               
 Our house just before we left. You will notice as you look at my pictures that there is an apparition in all them. I'm not happy about that but was too cheap to buy another camera. But I think I'll have to. 
 We had only gone 35 miles when we stopped at this gas station.

 Accident at Westfield. 

Then next we have flooding to look forward to.
