Simply Rolling

After numerous hugs and goodbyes, we left Marti’s sister and her brood in Ohio and headed out at the crack of 10:30. AM.  Yep, nothing like an early start, eh?   ;c)

Meandering along, complete with our annoying dash whistle, we completed a measly 255 miles, including one stop for diesel fuel and another for lunch.  No rush, our reservation at the Navy Base campground in New Jersey is for tomorrow and we have less than 200 more miles to go.  Maybe these short hops aren’t so bad after all…

We stopped for the night at another Flying J, actually our very favorite one that we’ve stayed at many times over the years.  Don’t worry, we’re not mooching here, in fact we’ve left many pretty pennies for fuel bought here.

Why, you ask, is this our favorite Flying J?  Here’s why:

Still can’t figure it out?  Here’s a closer view:

Dunkin Donuts right next door.  Marti can get a nice cup of her favorite coffee (I don’t drink that foul and evil liquid) and we both can start off our day tomorrow with a nice sugar rush!   ;c)

  1. Are you sure that you'll both be having donuts or will you snitch Marti's when she's not looking?
    Be safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  3. For what we have dropped at Flying J on diesel, we should try staying overnight one of these times.

  4. Glad you finally arrived at your favorite Flying J. I read your blog while drinking that foul liquid that Marti enjoys so much. You have the donut and I'll have the liquid in the morning.

  7. Never drank coffee and now trying to lay off of those doughnuts as well. I'm with Erin, as much as we've spent at FJs we should have many nights of layovers there.
