Day 0: Our Trip Across America

Today was the pre-leg of our two week journey across the great USA. We headed up through the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia to our first overnight stop, Charleston. Tomorrow the real journey begins as we head for Cleveland.

So far, the trip got off to a pretty good start. The drive through the WVA mountains was just beautiful (Wild and Wonderful). We hit our first few tolls, but were glad to see that friendly purple logo for EZ-Pass. One of the best things we ever did for travel. I could do a commercial for them.

The only snags we hit were right at the end. A bit of rain, and then a big traffic jam (road construction) just three miles from our exit. We took a detour and ran into more roads that were closed off for a street fair.

Thanks to getting this pre-leg behind us, we only have a few hours drive to Cleveland. Tomorrow we finally mark another Iron Chef off of our list, among other exciting things. Can't wait!
