As we awoke today, it was vastly different than the night before. It was another beautiful sunny day and a wonderful day to start the trek home.
We walked up to the winery when Matthew and Mark arrived to work. We wanted to let them know of the trouble we had with the outlet we were to use last night and Paul wanted to get a picture of the original still that was used in the production of the first batch of whiskey and corn shine. This place was the real deal in West Virginia and vastly different that the previous winery we stayed in. It was a nice experience and we got a feel for the folks in the area… which is why we like the Harvest Hosts.
As we wound our way to the interstate, we were on a narrow back road hoping that no one was coming the other way!
The wind was certainly bountiful today and caused us to swerve all over the road – all the way to PA. It was tough driving, requiring a firm grip on the steering wheel most of the day. We switched drivers every couple hours and made it home by 4:45pm. Along the way were scenic overlooks and a beautiful blue sky.
We will have to enjoy it while we can because I believe we brought winter home with us.
We were also greeted with a fully cooked dinner brought by our dear friend Diane. It was so appreciated, and so tasty!
Tomorrow I will post some of my ‘lessons learned’ and total miles and sum up our phenomenal trip – 31 days, the first of many to come.
We are home!
WELCOME HOME!! 💕
