First, we'd stop in Tennessee to meet The Doctor, an 18th century reenactor, during one of his exhibitions. Then, we'd have a beer and a meal with Bob in his favorite Raleigh pub. From there, we'd go to Williamsburg and up through Washington DC to spend a few days with our friends George and Noelle in New Jersey (they live only about 20 miles outside of NYC). Of course, we'd have to meet Earl and Slyde! Afterward, we'd head up to Boston to spend a few days with Michael, who'd show us everything worth seeing. During the return trip, we'd turn right at Buffalo and spend a couple of days in Toronto, visiting with our Rhombus Media friends, then head down to share a meal with RW in Chicago. Then, we'd set out on our way back home.
It would be fun to be on the road for a month, seeing places like Gettysburg, Monticello, Mt. Vernon, Philadelphia and etc. along the way. If any of you live in these areas and want to meet, let me know!
You're welcome any time! I'll have my house completely redone by then!
ReplyDeleteName the date.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan. I'm in. Don't bother counting on Slyde though. He hates NYC with a passion. ;)
ReplyDeleteI can suggest a few Colonial-era joints around NYC as well. Um, I think. Let me get back to you on that.
Well you will miss Vienna Austria - but will go close to Vienna VA where my brother in law lives. That must count for something.
ReplyDeleteVienna, Austria will be the NEXT trip. That you can count on! :)
ReplyDeleteEverything depends on the highest bids for our cache items. If they bring in a higher amount than we are (conservatively) anticipating, then, hell! We'll come to Vienna before the road trip!
ReplyDeleteNot fair - I'm already thinking about what to do!
ReplyDeleteNot to worry. If we can go to Vienna, it'll be in the winter. Summer is reserved for the road trip.
ReplyDeleteBuffalo? Who the hell lives in Buffalo?! (Oh yeah, that would be me!)
ReplyDeleteThey say you can feel the ghosts at Gettysburg. (If you come through Ohio, the door is open and the welcome mat is out for you!)
ReplyDeleteOh, this sounds like a wonderful trip. I know that region well, even Chicago.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I wished I still had my home there! I would have even had a spare bedroom. :-(
Very cool! Stay with us in Durham--I'd love to have an excuse to actually clean up our pseudo-guest-room. Open invitation. If you drive from Tennessee, I imagine you'll come on I-40, which comes right through Durham. Then I-85 goes North, also right out of Durham, toward Williamsburg. Keep me posted on your plans.
