Blue Knights Vacation...Day One

Heading up to the Blue Knights International Convention in Virginia. One week in VA followed by a ride through Pennsylvania and Jersey...then Indiana and Memphis. Then home.

My trips are starting out as normal. I was adamant about leaving the house at 630, get out of Denny's and on the road just after 700. Well.....

Kick stand up @ 740, Denny's and then get on the road around 900. Gotta say we made excellent time up until Beaumont. Construction. Bad enough in a car, try it with 2 wheels....oh well.

Got to Scott LA and had a po boy at Don's Specialty Meats...loving life. Get back on the bike and just a couple of hours to New Orleans to have dinner with my mom and crash (pardon the pun) for the night then link up with some friends Friday morning. Well that plan got a kink in it....nice sized thunderstorm just east of Baton Rouge. Waiting this out over my IPad and McDonald's coffee.

Life is grand. Will get back later.


Wouldn't you know it. After waiting out the storm for two hours it looks like the storm was dying so we took off again in a light rain. And naturally the storm kicks back up again and we get drenched. Linked up with my mom and had a great dinner at Deanies Seafood.

Now in for the night. Four in the morning comes quick. TTYL
