778 miles down, 1,010 to go

Give or take a mile.

Thanks to my brilliant navigating skills we have arrived two and a half hours late.

Well, I can't honestly take full credit for all of the delay. We sat through a fsck load of traffic on a bridge that is called something that sounds like 'Throg sank', then we sat in some traffic while going through the Bronx, then another fsck load of traffic while getting onto the George Washington bridge.

What I will definitely take credit for is what happened after we got over the bridge. I completely missed the exit for I-78, we ended up driving all the way down to Pennsylvania on I-95 and then hopping I-276, which turns into I-76. We then took I-76 over to 81 and were back on the planned course.

This out of the way route cost us some time, I'm not sure how much time. But what I am sure if not for that delay, we would have probably have missed the sitting in about a mile long backup of traffic, that stemmed from a highway accident where there was a SEVERELY beaten up SUV and I am pretty sure I saw three body bags on the ground.

The accident and subsequent backup occurred after we had gone through a fairly decent drenching while on the road through Virginia.

After the accident the roads were fairly clear, except for the pea-soup grade fog that plagued us until just about outside Knoxville.

Well, Jeremy has shut down his laptop and I should take that as my sign to brush my teeth and pass out, since I am sure we will want to try to get on the road quicker than we did this morning and get through the other 1,010 miles as to end the trip officially on Saturday and not Sunday.

Beana, I love you and can't wait to see you.
