Really Riveting Roadtrip: Day 2

I eagerly await the next time I'm in the car. I know... a little strange after driving at least 8 hours today. But, we have a book on CD! It is an amazing young adult title called The Virals about teenagers, scientific experiments on secluded islands, murder, monkeys, and the hope that high school students will morph into wolves! Tina, thanks for the suggestion of renting an audiobook at Cracker Barrel! You rock! We will be saving a Western/Romance audiobook (with a cowboy on the cover!) for Kansas!

The audiobook was the most exciting aspect of our slightly more flat journey down the length of Ohio. However, I was also fairly pleased to be saluted for my driving skills by a trucker today! I've heard that truckers represent the best (and worst) drivers out there. Apparently, I let him merge into my lane, hung back so I wasn't in his blind spots, and then passed him appropriately enough that he honked and gave me a thumbs up, sticking his whole hand out the window!

The day was really completed with a driveby of Grandpa's Cheesebarn (where they also sold fudge...) and a visit to a luxurious gas station/Starbucks/mini grocery store with amazing bathrooms!
