Day 58 (August 11) of our road trip

Hello! Day 58 was long. We got up at 7 and had breakfast at the hotel. Then we went to Laura’s storage unit to drop off some furniture that she needed for her apartment. We got on the road at 10:30, and the drive wasn’t too interesting. We stopped at a Subway for lunch. I made some big progress playing Super Mario Galaxy while we were in the car today. We stopped at a Logan’s Roadhouse for supper. I got a mushroom burger and Dad got some wings. We kept driving and went through West Virginia before going further west into Virginia, and stopped at our hotel for the night. That’s all for today. Bye!

Hello! Day 56 was busy. I got up at 6:30 and Dad got up even earlier so we could pack and clean up the house. I got dressed and then did the dishwasher and dishes, then swept the floors. We packed all of our stuff up, and then we got things we’d need in the car into separate bags, like the load of candy and my computer. We left to start on the trip back home at 12. We stopped at an A&W at 2 for lunch and then kept going. We entered the US around 4 in the evening. We stopped at an Asian restaurant for supper, and got to our hotel in Boston around 11.

Hello! sorry for not posting for a while. We were on the road and I forgot. Day 56 was busy. We got up earlier than usual and did the usual morning stuff. I did the dishes and then got some of my stuff out to be ready to pack for the next day. After that, we worked to finish and clean up our job down at the dock. That took the majority of our morning, so we had lunch at 1. After that, I wrote the blog and played some games, then got more around the house chores done. We went out around 4:30 to do some stuff in the city, mainly getting a bunch of candy from Bulk Barn and Canadian food we can’t get in the US from the grocery store. We got home at 7 and had supper at 8. After that, I had a shower and then went to bed. That’s all for now. Bye!
