Traffic was an EASE today. I made the 270+ miles from the Valley Forge Exit to the Irwin exit in only 3 1/2 hours (only stopping once at a rest stop for a drink and sandwich to eat along the trip). Averaging 70 MPH on nearly the entire run on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Besides wanting to get to my mom’s home as fast as possible, I also like to arrive quickly in case Linus and Lucy (who slept nearly the entire trip) need to use the litter box or want a drink of water.
