When driving here from Jersey, there were parts that dragged on forever. I never thought I would make it out of Tennessee!

It may sound weird, but to me, it just feels like you're actually making progress when you're constantly crossing into other states. It feels like such an accomplishment when you see a "Welcome to..." sign.

Tennessee on an east-west journey is hella long. They told us in elementary school that the distance from the Tri Cities to Memphis if driven from Nashville would put us somewhere in Canada. No idea if that's actually true, but it's still crazy long.
