22 hours of driving and only 7 coffees?

jg_am · September 5, 2007

This Labor Day weekend was fun, and I mean that. My wife and I drove up to visit her folks for the weekend. Got there in about 10.5 hours. She's staying up there until we can move into our new place, because of mold(see OT thread) while being pregnant. Hopefully she can come back by the 22nd. I had my first Tim's donuts(Walnut crunch and a box of Timbits) and Swiss Challet.

I was making great time on the drive back until I got to 81E near the NY/PA border. Two lanes became one and then opened back up to two lanes for a mile or two before going back down to one. Why don't the just leave it at one lane? :protest: It took over an hour-and-a-half to go 12 miles. Next time, I'll just get on 11S and stay on that until it meets up with 476S.

The border at Peace Bridge took about 40 minutes but not without a stop at the duty free shop first. What a racket! They have a McDonald's and a Tim Hortons right at the store. And the line at Tim's was about 15 minutes long, no surprise there.

Anyway, I only had 7 coffees for the round trip(plus a few sodas). The neat thing was I got to have Wawa, DD, and a Tim's all on the same day. Unfortunatly, the Tim's was from the US and wasn't as good. I also wanted to get a coffee from Coffee Time, but we didn't go that way, and I didn't need it.

Gotta pack up the apartment!

Here's the remains of my trip:

Glad you had fun! How's your wife feeling these days? How far along is she?

That's better(the pic).

She's doing better now that's she out of the mold. She felt fine on Saturday and felt "normal" on Sunday so we're pretty confident that she wasn't as badly affected as we think. We'll have to wait and see. She's at 18 weeks but is still at her normal weight. Hopefully she can gain some in the next couple of weeks.
