See America 2008

Today was spent on I-64. We opted to cruise over to Charleston, WV, where we arrived about 6pm with the loss of an hour from Central to Eastern time. We saw lots of pretty country through southern Indiana, northern Kentucky, and western West Virginia.

The only experience of note was our interesting search for gas in sparsely populated SE Indiana. The gas warning light came on near Sulphur, Indiana. So, though the options appeared sketchy at best, we stopped for gas here - where they still use the mechanical/analog pumps and the price is $4.56/gal.

We had lunch at Shoneys in Frankfort, KY, a southern food buffet chain. Jake tried Catfish for the first time and loved it. In Charleston, we had dinner at Farm Table Family Restaurant. I ordered liver and onions and had Jake try the liver. He loved it. His tastes seem to be evolving beyond foods like hot dogs and toast, and he may actually trust his Dad's choices when it comes to food.

Plan for tomorrow: Tomorrow will be the longest travel day of the trip. We plan to see the New River Gorge National River, the Appomattox Courthouse National Historic Park, the Colonial National Historic Park (Jamestown), and Williamsburg.
