771 July 5, 2022 Binghamton

We wanted to wait until after the July 4th holiday to leave. I felt bereft as I drove away from mom after our last visit. I was also saddened to say goodbye to Kyle and Allison.

I have said that more than one thing can be true at the same time…while partings are always hard, we were also eagerly anticipating this trip. We were getting restless and we are ready to explore new places and see new things.

This is the life we have chosen and while we are always at home when we are with our children our “true home” has wheels!

Today we head north to destinations truly unknown.

We drove through Worthington Valley to 83N to 81N to 88N to Binghamton, New York. We found a Cracker Barrel near the interstate where we could overnight. We were not in the mood for a heavy homestyle meal and so we just fixed tomato sandwiches.

We were lucky that the parking lot was adjacent to a Regal Theater. We hadn’t been to the movies since well before COVID.

I have seen the original Top Gun many, many times and it is a favorite. We went to see Top Gun Maverick and I just loved it! It was a good way to pass the evening hours and it was a great movie to see on the big screen.

Tomorrow…onward!
