Extended Trip - Day One

Petersburg, VA. We arrived here at about 10pm. With a bit of a later start than expected, we at least made our initial goal of being South of D.C. before the start of the work week. Beyond that, it really does not matter...no real schedule to keep any more. Sorry there is no picture to accompany this entry, but the only attempt (the National Cathedral at Night) was missed since we did not have the camera out and at the ready; however, you can expect some photos to follow from this point forward. We owe a huge thanx to many for a delightful sendoff at couple of points over the weekend. A special thanx to Vickie for the Friday Night dinner and party and a really huge thank you to Linda and Bert for putting up with us in all our preparations since July (and sorry for all the grooves, holes and puddles left in the yard). More tomorrow - may get thrown out of this rest stop in a couple of hours so we'd better get some sleep while we can.
