Well, I guess I could have made the subject Columbus, OH and then you would know where we were; however, it's always better to be exact! This is a suburb of Columbus - about 9000 strong - and on the east side of the city. We could drive up north about ten miles and go to The Memorial Golf Tournament, but I think tomorrow we'll get back on the interstate and head west.
We left Atlantic City early this morning, a little lighter in the wallet, but we had fun and enjoyed visiting there. Travelled through New Jersey, Philadelphia and picked up I-76 which is the Pennsylvania Turnpike until we got on I-70 west of Harrisburg. The toll roads are a little expensive - took $28.75 to go from Philadelphia to where I-70 broke off. Found out that they don't take credit cards, only cash and checks.
Neat drive across Pennsylvania - to get out of Philadelphia, we drove along the Schuykill River. A lot of people out on the river rowing and sculling. Then it was through Valley Force and King of Prussia - all names with memories of the Revolutionary War. As we crossed the rolling countryside, there were a lot of dairy farms mixed with various types of industrial areas. The Allegheny Mountains kind of run NW to SE and there were several long tunnels - guess it was cheaper than going up and over the mountains.
West Virginia passed quickly - there was only about ten miles of it in a little piece that stuck up between Pennsylvania and Ohio. Not much difference between the states on our trip - mostly green fields and mountains (or at least what passes for mountains in this part of the country.
Enough for now - take care and enjoy life.
