Virginiee

Waffle House

So we made it to Virginiee. The plane ride was a pretty easy affair, straight from the PVR to Newark, non-stop. I can’t complain. My sister picked us up from the airport and we high-tailed it down to Newport News, VA. in 6.5 hours. That’s gotta be a record. I’d say mostly due to light traffic, cuz I like going 90 mph. but in this section of the country, cops grow on trees. and trees is everywhere. so that’s definitely a no-no. We rolled in to VA at 4:30am and crashed hard, woke up this morning and went with the fam and my aunt and cousin to Waffle House, where a waffle with fruit really means a waffle loaded with whipped cream and this sugary, syrupy, gelatinous substance that feigns to have real blueberries slopped on top. are we in the south or what?

This is really Marcia’s first trip inside the US, to a place other then a major city. She has visited NYC, LA and SF. Rural Virginia is nothing like those three places and she’s getting a kick out of how different and alien things are out here in the sticks. This trip should be a lot of fun.
