Nathan & Dad's Big Adv. - Day 9

ROANOKE, VA - We left Aunt Barbara / Uncle Bob's around noon and stopped at DQ for lunch before hitting the road for real. Decided to take the "fast route" and head north with the intent of getting on I-81.

We ran into some serious thunderstorms just before getting to Virginia. That slowed us down ALOT. We ended up stopping for dinner at Cracker Barrel in Bristol hoping to wait out the storm a bit. Worked a bit, rain wasn't so hard afterward.

Did not reach Roanoake until about 10. Starting to wish that I hadn't made reservations, so we could have stopped earlier. At least we'll have a shorter trip today. We're thinking of making a special stop, but I'll wait to mention until we do. Nathan is still sleeping at 7:36.
