Wednesday 10/9/24
We didn’t use the gym at the hotel even though they had one, with all the traffic and being further south than we hoped, we wanted to get on the road. We showered and got dressed.
We had breakfast at the hotel. They had a nice setup.
I was happy that they had a waffle maker; here’s my plate.
Below is Scott’s plate
We made it to North Carolina a little before 8 and were in Virginia at 11. There was a ton of traffic.
News of Hurricane Milton is still predicting a category 5 and it’s expected to hit tonight. While Scott was driving I was also checking my phone for news of the Hurricane, Disney, etc. I saw this cute picture someone posted.
At one of the rest stops they had an Auntie Anne’s so we got a pretzel. We haven’t had Auntie Anne’s in ages.
We were in Delaware at just after 5 and being such a quick state to drive through we were at the bottom of New Jersey by 5:25. We live near the top of New Jersey so still have about 2.5 hours to go before we’re home
We stopped at AppleBee’s in Paramus, NJ on the way home when we passed it. It’s maybe 25/30 minutes away from home and was on the way. We sat at the bar.
Scott had a Martini and I was excited to see a Peach Palmer on their cocktail menu so ordered that. I never looked for these drinks before but now that I had some in Hilton Head I’ve been keeping an eye out for similar drinks.
We ordered food to go since we wanted to get home. We ordered a chicken quesadilla appetizer and an order or Ribs with fries. We shared. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the food when we ate it at home. It was pretty good, with a chain you know what you are getting.
When we got home the cats were happy to see us so we spent some time cuddling/playing with them now that we are back. We (Scott) brought the luggage in from the car but we didn’t unpack tonight other than any food type things that needed to go in the fridge and/or freezer.
