I was out of bed at 5:30am. Everyone up, van packed, and on the road at 8am.
This time the three families were traveling within 30 minutes of each other with
us in the lead. We passed through Florida, Georgia, the Carolina's, and into
Virginia before stopping around 7pm.
We were almost creamed by a tracker
trailer as we approached the Virginia border. Someone was coming down an exit
and the semi didn't see we were next to him passing. He immediately yanked it
into our lane. I slammed on the brakes and went into the shoulder of the road at
75mph. We all slam forward as the antilock brakes engaged. The semi missed us by
inches.
After crossing the Virginia border, we entered the Blue Ridge
Mountain Range at dusk. Driving through the mountains are scary enough during
the day and is a nightmare at night. Finding the hotel was a welcomed site!
