I am now home in Delaware. Folks that was the worst6 three hour drive....ever. Not that it wasn’t nice with my niece and everything. My niece is very conservative and loves Trump, even went to a Trump rally last year.

But the weather was horrific and somebody please tell me what it is with that traffic around I-64...if anybody should know.

We were told, this past Friday, that it would be quite congested at rush hour. We planned it so that we would be past I-64 by three pm but evidently, around the DC area, 3pm IS CONSIDERED RUSH HOUR!!!

and it’s not like the traffic is slow, oh no. Traffic STOPS, and it just stops for 20-30 minutes, some bridge/tunnel thing around Norfolk, Va.

People commuting from Richmond or further north are stuck on that road for two hours JUST TO GO TEN MILES!!!

Never again. The state of Virginia can right to hell in a handbasket if this is what visitors must go through to visit their state. And no, there was no disabled vehicle, no accident, we were told by the locals and a friend of my niece that it’s like this all the time, that commuters listen to books on tape and they live like this.

Well guess who is never going back to Virginia?

Not that Williamsburg wasn’t nice but that pesky hurricane kept raining with wind blowing that we went to The Pottery, the outlets, Olive Garden for lunch, and we drove through Williamsburg a couple of times, at least saw the houses a couple of times.

But Virginia is not very welcoming to visitors so I shall never go back there. 6.5% sales tax, even on food!

On the way home, today, which is Sunday, not so bad BUT...the tail end of Matthew poured rains down upon us and we drove over that Chesapeake-BayBridge tunnel in 60 miles an hour winds, thank God we had the Jeep but the Jeep was not happy. The rest of Route 13 was flooded.

Anyway, have watched no Sunday talk shows but got to pick up dogs in an hour and might post my thoughts and opinions, no charge!
