Raleigh, NC Roadtrip 2012 - Day 7


Goodbyes were said, hugs were given, and we were on the road by 9:30am heading west towards our destination…Indianapolis. However, we had to make a few stops along the way and one was to a farmers market in Greensboro, NC. For some reason every roadtrip I take…there is a definite need for stopping at a local farmers market. This time I purchased kiwi jam. Who would have thought about making a jam out of Kiwi?! People in Greensboro, NC…that’s who LOL!


Greensboro Farmers Market
My philosophy is…take advantage of what is provided, and that is exactly what I did with the hotel’s complimentary breakfast. Scrambled eggs, Canadian bacon, tater tots, and a muffin found their place on my breakfast plate this morning. Fully satisfied and coffee in hand it was time to pack the car and prep ourselves for the 11 hour drive ahead of us.


This 11 hour portion of the trip took us through six states…North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. I have yet to determine what I like better…Driving through flat Nebraska or driving through the mountains in West Virginia? Mostly, I’m just surprised Becca’s car made it through the day…we definitely put it through a workout! Good thing there are not mountains in Iowa.

During the car ride, we listed to some Johnny Cash, read Men’s Health Magazine, and counted how extensive our families were. (Becca I think was up to 84 with more on the way.) By 9:00pm…we finally reached our destination of Indianapolis, IN. From there we met up with Keith, who is a friend of Becca’s. One more 8 hour stretch and then it is home sweet home!
