Okay, so when you live in a stick house stuff breaks and you have to fix it right? Well, part of our house is well, uh, a big 'ole Ford F350 powerstroke diesel truck. And it stopped working on Monday---We had to fix it. It was an alternator but we found that out after we had already spent over $200 on two new batteries. Who knew a diesel takes two batteries? What's up with that? Anyways, we are back up on the road again and we would like to thank the following:
Triple AAA Gold Plus and my parents for gifting it to me for my birthday!
Roger's Towing Service Marion, VA
Empire Ford Abingdon, VA (great popcorn by the way!)
Kevin with the towing company in Charlottesville, VA
The Marathon Gas Station in Marion, VA for letting us boondock there!!
The State of Virginia for being a beautiful place to be stuck

Glad you guys enjoyed your trip to VA! I grew up in VA so I'm a bit prejudiced, but I love Charlottesville. I'm sorry to hear about the unexpected pit stop in Marion! It sounds as if it wasn't too bad. Little odd fact about Marion, the mental hospital is in Marion so that's where all of the crazies from my neck of the woods (Southwest Virginia) get sent :-)
Too bad you guys didn't get to visit the Barter Theatre in Abingdon. If you are ever in that area again, take the kids to see a play at Barter Theatre on Main Street in Abingdon. They do some really great childrens' productions and the theatre itself is filled with history! It make for a great field trip.
Good luck with your future travels!
Take care,
Allyson
