I made so many mistakes there,  I'm surprised I got it in 5.

Not much to tell about yesterday after the previous post. Traffic wasn't great, but our ETA didn't change from Vermont to Maryland, so I guess traffic wasn't worse than Google Maps accounted for. (The day before, time just seemed to vanish, but that didn't happen yesterday as far as I could tell.) I mentioned multiple stops - one for a second breakfast, because the first breakfast was very small; one for beer, because there are Vermont beers we like or wanted to show friends; and one for gas, which turned into a bathroom break and an early lunch as well. Then in New Jersey we stopped for gas. Not very efficient travel. But we reminded ourselves that we didn't have a passenger who'd have a bathroom emergency or throw a tantrum when she got to the end of the rope - not that the kid did so yesterday, but she's young enough that it's a recent memory - so we thought we could handle a trip taking longer than usual, and turned out to be right.

We tried to go to a certain restaurant for dinner, this chain we've never been to called Texas Roadhouse, because we had a gift certificate there, but there was a wait for a table, so we went to the next-closest place instead. It turned out to be this pizza place with pour-your-own beer and similar drinks. Good stuff. I'd go back there.

Got gas less than a mile from home, because the tank was very nearly empty, and got home around 8. Can't complain.
