Today we traveled back to Clemson from Ohio. We were able to get an early start and actually made it through the entire state of Ohio in about 3 hours--quite an impressive feat. Our main source of entertainment was playing 20 questions through texting with one of John's friends from high school who was also on a road trip. In the meantime, I was able to finish the scarf I had been knitting, which was wonderful, but also left me with little to do during the journey except navigate. However, I did have the opportunity to use those skills when our momentum was slowed a bit as we approached the Kentucky/Tennessee border. Road signs announced that traffic was limited to one lane just over the border and recommended an alternate route. I found a route that appeared to be a good alternative, but had great difficulty in trying to program the GPS to utilize the roads I wanted us to travel. If I asked for the fastest route, it continued to try to return us to the interstate. When I requested the shortest route, it wanted us to take the backroads all the way home. Fortunately, however, John saved the day by looking up on his Iphone GPS the correct route and we were able to still make it home within 10.5 hours. What a blessing!
Spent the evening running errands, doing laundry, and meeting up with Jonathan for awhile. Was so good to see him after being gone, but also to get the work done so that the weekend could be enjoyed rather than full of work!
