Hi Robin! We live in NY, So it is pretty far for us too, But so worth the drive! We take the scenic route and visit towns and shops along the way :)
Mom says if it is 10 hours or less its considered a Day trip Lol , My grandmother was the same way :)
Looking forward to coming, surely my ankle will be OK by then! Hookers, it is a beautiful place and so peaceful. It is well worth any drive or flight!
Big Hugs to All, including Gracie!
Love, Jeanne
