TTN Chesapeake Bay

We were up and on the road by 9 am this morning. We were initially going to go east and south towards Baltimore and Washington DC but decided against that because of the stories I had read about traffic in and around DC. Instead we headed west on 322towards Harrisburg and then south on 15 through Maryland into Virginia where we passed through Leesburg and Warrenton. We picked up Hwy 17 south all the way to 198 and on into Chesapeake Bay, arriving at 5 pm. The drive was a little onger than we had planned but that is because we were on some busier roads too.

Chris spied a Five Guys Famous Burger and Fries along the way, so of course we had to stop there for lunch....and it was fabulous! Temps are quite pleasant down here. Hoping to get in some pickleball tomorrow morning if all goes well. We'll spend two nights here before packing up and heading on south. Lots of snowbirds here for a few days before moving on. We had a few kids at the RV trick or treating but not many. Early to bed tonight. Hoping to get up in time to photograph the sunrise in the morning.


Diesel fuel is coming down. Prices are very reasonable in Virginia. I filled up at $2.93/gallon at Hornes on the way along Hwy 17 at US 301. I expect it will be more as we go south though. Must be taxes or something.
