How it started:
How it’s going:
The last couple of weeks have been exhausting as we have worked to get ready for this trip. For some reason, the preparations this year seemed to be much more involved. Maybe it’s because we know we are going to be camping for about 5 months total in 2025, so we wanted to make sure everything was in perfect condition before we set off.
The trip to Williamsburg went relatively smoothly. We had one slight scare when a plastic bucket flew off the truck in front of us, and we had no choice but to run over it. I hadn’t been paying much attention to the road — Greg was driving — and the sound of us hitting that bucket scared the living daylights out of me.
Our other adventure was trying to find a gas station that could accommodate us off of I-95.
I’ve learned my lesson: Identify appropriate truck stops along the route before heading out. I have now saved the link to the RoadNow: I-95 website–which has all things I-95, including gas stations, rest stops, and truck stops–for future use when traveling along I-95.
It was all worth it, though. We are now relaxing in the sunshine, eating dinner, and contemplating the adventures to come.
Meanderings & Mind Munchies 
We love NextExit, and keep a copy in the truck. We annotate it to mark places with particularily good diesel prices (or bad), good diners, or even exits that are just heinous for one reason or another. Makes our travels across country much less stressful!
