VA-PA-OH-IN-IL-WV Trip

**We have a passenger with us.. Flat Missy. She wanted to go with us to our final destination in Chicago to see Jordan, but was not able, so we brought her via cardboard cutout so she could be with us in spirit at least!

August 19th

Day 1 of the trip starts out with us in the car on our way towards Richmond via Highway 64.

Flat Missy was pretty excited about going through the tunnel. I can't say I agreed.

New Kent, VA

First Stop along the way was in New Kent, VA to see the Saint Peter's Parish Church built in 1703 and was supposedly the location of the wedding of President George Washington and Martha.

Flat Missy was impressed!

Washington DC

Well, that took extremely too long to get through DC Traffic! Here's me and Missy stopping for a quick rest stop on the northern side!

Pennsylvania Border

Welcome to PA! Missy is excited!

Next stop was in Everett, PA at the largest quarter on the East Coast.
