Where did I go?
51 hours to Virginia and back! 28 hours driving
I just got back from a road trip to Virginia. I drove the entire distance up and back by myself and it was tiring to say the least.
I took a few pictures while in Virginia
I love to travel and see new places, but when it has to be done on a schedule, it can take most of the fun of travel away. This was not a road trip for pleasure. This trip was to appear in court for a probate litigation hearing for my wife Cindi. We have been doing this case ourselves, pro-se, and it appears that we neglected to properly serve the other party. So back to the drawing board on the case as it was not heard.
I enjoy law and doing research about it, but probate law, not my cup of tea. Its kind of boring actually. However, the opposing attorney has made some great errors in the will and now he has me a bit hot. I think it will get interesting from this point on!
The color change of fall can be breathtaking
We had to be in court on Wednesday at 1:00, so we left Tuesday morning at 2:00 am. I made it to Wythe County by 4:00 pm, we checked into the room, got some chow and hit the sack. The following morning we took a scenic drive of about 28 miles of Virginia farmland back country roads. With the fall change of color in the trees, it was quite beautiful to see.
After appearing in court only to learn of our error, we were back on the road by 3:00 pm heading back through Tennessee to see more of the mountains and color change in the trees. With very few hours of daylight left, the scenic view was quickly over. Just after hitting the Florida State line and getting into the home stretch, we hit a terrible fog cover. This slowed my speed down to less than 40 MPH at times. We arrived home at 5:00 am Thursday with me feeling half dead.
After a day of recoup and catching up on email and such, I am back to work.

Yea, it could have been much more enjoyable. The mountains this time of year are a sight to see.
