Day 2: Virginia is Bigger Than We Thought

At Eva's house with Stanley!


After a lovely night at Eva's, we had a chance to see Virginia by day, which is much much more beautiful than Virginia by night. However, we had a chance to see pretty much all of Virginia on the way to Nashville. We drove approx 10 hours to Tennessee, and went down the entire western length of Virginia. This is what the entire 10 hours looked like:




We broke up the longest drive of my life by stopping at a WAFFLE HOUSE somewhere in Virginia ... I think it was near Virginia Tech, but who knows. Anyways, I put Waffle House on my list of places to go on the road, and it did not disappoint. It was really good, wicked cheap (Meghan's meal cost $3.06), and we had a great waitress in Cheryl.





Back on the road, we passed through rolling hills and winding highways, which led us to Tennessee. Besides our final destination of the day to Nashville, we made only a couple stops, one of which included a gas station where the cashier said Meghan said "dollars" weird, and this gas station where we switched drivers. The latter of which looked like something out of a horror movie.


No need to worry, we got out of there as fast as possible, and the sky was gorgeous as we rolled into Nashville Sunday night.



We settled into our hotel then walked out in the humid night in search for dinner. At first, a lot of the restaurants we were passing we closed, including this place:




Yeah those "No weapons of any kind allowed" sign was pretty much at every restaurant. This made me nervous and a bit scared, and even more frightened for what Texas has to bring. It was even on the door of the restaurant we went into on the main street the locals call "Music Row." Here's the last video of the night on our time in Nashville!
