I forgot to post our "experience" in yesterday's blog. We checked into our hotel and in our room noticed that the air wasn't on, so the room was a little humid. We figured that since there were few cars in the parking lot, it just hadn't been used for awhile. We noticed also that the bedding seemed damp--like on a humid day or near the beach. So we turned the air on to dry the air in the room (and hopefully the bedding) and went to a Friday's near the hotel. When we came back, there was water on the floor! Not near the air conditioner or the refrigerator and the ceiling was dry! So I went down to tell the desk and they changed our room--not sure how the water got there (there were puddles--though the bedding was drier). Thankfully they were laminate floors and our stuff was up. So we changed rooms and then in the morning, I found a used washcloth hanging from the shower curtain bar (dry), so housekeeping must have missed that--made me wonder what else they may have missed!
Well, today we checked out and started driving from Virginia to Indiana. We drove through pretty land and pretty mountains--Blue Ridge Mountains I believe--in West Virginia and Kentucky. The Mountain Mama title above is because Joshua kept saying it--one of the few lines he knows from John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads".

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
So now, of course, that song is stuck in my head! Well, it could be worse, I suppose!
We stopped at a Bob Evans in West Virginia for lunch, and walked a few blocks to find a place that was still open when we arrived at the hotel. Found a Chili's about half a mile away. We were their only customers and the waitstaff informed us that they were planning to close in half an hour. We promised to eat in that time and did. Seemed pretty sad. Today we drove about 9 1/2 hours, probably about 8 1/2 minus the gas/lunch break. Thankfully we have two drivers so we can trade off--four to four and a half hours each. Tomorrow will be even longer--probably 10 hours to get home plus stops.
