We travel North to Yankee country

The day dawned wet and cold, and we had several news casts of bad winter storms coming from the mid-west. So with trepidation on our part about what we might face, we started this day at 5:45 am. We drove west on I-65 and then turned north on I-81. In the process we drove out of Virginia into West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and into central New York. We had snow along side of the road from the minute we got into the Blue Mountains of Virginia. Roads were wet and dry in turn, but there was no ice or snow on the road at all. We arrived at Maurice and Anne's home about 3:30 pm. There had been 5-6 inches of snow here when we arrived.

After supper three of us went with cousin Ruth to see the Vienna Boy's Choir in a concert in nearby Binghamton. It was wonderful. HW2 was sad to miss this, but she came down with a cold and felt it was better that she stayed here and tried to get over it. We were glad to arrive and be back in my home town with close family. Happy travels.
