On Thursday, Day 9, we went swimming with the kids at Grandpa Bob’s and Ya Ya’s hotel. I was already getting sad because we were leaving early the next morning, so this was the last day. “That is all I am going to say about that…..” (Forrest Gump and me.) 
John took the first shift on driving. It is louder in the back of the motor home and less stable than I thought it would be. My mom is less than thrilled but she is hanging in there. We saw some beautiful countryside and finally stopped for the night in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Parkersburg, WV, you say? Why stop in Parkersburg? Because my Dad has the nicest cousins you will ever want to meet. They got a campground for us, on the house. They came and got us and cooked the best food ever. I really ate too much and who knows how many weight watchers points I consumed. The best thing of all was the conversation and laughter. What great hospitality. Thank you very much, Peggy and Dave, Bev and Rusty. It was great to see you again and meet the rest of the family.
FYI, Parkersburg, WV was originally surveyed and owned by George Washington! Such great history, thanks Rusty. 
We are still in awe of the beautiful green countryside and rivers we are seeing. On to the next leg of our trip, Amish Country and then to Dayton, Ohio, home of the Air Force Museum.
