Our trip from Knoxville to NJ was uneventful. We missed all the storms that have been chasing us since Texas; there was a tornado in Hondo, about 45 minutes west of where we stayed in San Antonio, two nights after we left. More weather in other areas after we had departed. We only saw the occasional brief sprinkle of rain so we timed it just right. Tornados are a major concern in springtime so we are grateful we dodged them all. We travelled from Winchester, VA and skirted around Baltimore using the northwest section of route 695 to avoid the Baltimore tunnel and had no traffic slowdowns at all the whole way. That’s a miracle right there!
We arrived about 1:30 Tuesday afternoon at my daughter Kristen’s house and were greeted by her husband Jason (who was working from home today) and their three boys (who had just finished their remote learning for the day.) Later, we had a wonderful reunion with Kristen, our daughter Catherine and children; and son Tim and his wife, Bernie.
We’ve been reading about possible fuel shortages this summer so we filled up before our arrival and now we are set for 600 miles more of travel. This week we will visit doctors and spend time with family. Life is good!
