Back in Home Territory

We are on the road headed SOUTH away from the cold of northern VT!  It was 31 degrees the night before we left.  But, the last two days have been sunny and bright and getting warmer!  Yesterday we had a long day as our plans to stay the night at a convenient Wal-mart near Scranton PA were stymied by vehicle height restrictions entering the parking lot, but we found another one several miles down the road and it all worked out nicely.

We got an early start this AM and it got sunnier and warmer as we moved further SOUTH!  About 1445 we crossed the Mason-Dixon Line and really started feeling at home!  We don't normally stay at KOA campgrounds but this one was so convenient to I-81 we stopped early.

Tonight we dined at a near by diner, the Pink Cadelliac - and Elvis was there.


BJ and Marla, my sister, were little teeny boppers again at dinner.  We had some good Southern Comfort Food and enjoyed the visit with Elvis, he had NOT left the building!
Right to left - BJ, Elvis & Marla
I enjoyed liver & onions with the best gravey since my Mom last served it; BJ had chicken fried steak with a creamy gravey and licked the plate clean and Marla had fried oysters and some turnip greens!

Marla was the hit of the evening with her original Elvis pin directly from Tupelo!

We skipped desert!

Went home to RVs fat, sassy and happy!

Tomorrow we are off to visit another great American - Thomas Jefferson in his home at Monticello!

Always at home, no matter where we are!!
