Day 2 PA to VA

8:35PM arrived at Harrisburg, PA Tesla super charging station
Grabbed quick Mexican food again for dinner!

Charging Station Rating: 4/5
Two steakhouses and Chiptole as well as a few other restaurants within the plaza. One can walk across the street to other eating places. not a mall plaza but does have plenty of stores  

 9:07PM Car charged with 228miles
Next super charging station: Strasburg, VA with 30% left of charge when we arrive to the destination 
Little one fell asleep right away, so the husband wanted to keep driving since he was not tired.

You would think living in Maine, we see a good number of deers and don't need to run into anymore deers. No... It had to take us to travel over 4 states to see two deers standing in the middle of the highway, staring straight at us. 

Here is a dialogue around 2AM between a scared husband and a sleepy wife:
Wife sleeping
Little one sleeping
Husband driving
Two large deers were standing on the left lane of the side of our highway, which appeared out of the dark
Husband quickly changes lane to avoid deers, causing the wife to wake up with a scare 
Wife nags, "Drive safely!"
Husband, "Two big deers jumped in front of me. Almost caused a big accident!"
Wife, "Drive safely! You're going to wake up the baby! Night!"
Wife goes back to sleep. 
Husband says to himself, "We almost died!"

Day 2 April 20, 2017 MA to CT to PA

April 20, 2017 7:30AM While the little one kept sleeping, we all got ready and hung out. 8:30AM we drove our friend to Harvard University where she works and then headed straight to Dedham Tesla shop for a car assessment. 10:45AM We were ready to get on the road towards Florida!! Specs of car: Tesla Model X 90D with 259 miles per charge Instead of going down I95, which would take us through NY and D.C., we routed  our way around that traffic area by going through I84West which then turns into I81. Car recommended charging in West Hartford, CT. 1:30PM Before heading to the charging station, we stopped at Besito, a Mexican/Latin restaurant, 12 minutes from the charging station and before it. It is not your typical, casual Mexican restaurant. It was a more high end atmosphere. The place is very big and with super duper tall ceiling. The staff were very friendly. The food was great too! The husband got two enchiladas and the wife got two tacos. Amazing! After lunch, we charg...

Day 3 We Made It!

4:03PM  arrived at St Augustine, FL our last charging station before we reach our hotel! 10% charge left. We are recommended to charge for 30 minutes.  5/5 in St Augustine Preminum Outlet! Shop away ladies! After the charge, we reached our destination! Yeah!!!  Our sight seeing drive caused a scare for our family back in Maine. We saw two buildings that are purposely structured to look broken. One was broken and slanded as if it went through an earthquake while the other was upside down. The wife texted pictures to family in Maine with a note "Natural disaster in Orlando right now. We must all evacuate immediately! Will keep you updated!" The husband got many missed calls from family members and wondered why :-) Oh, we can't forget to mention! We traveled through 9 states with everyone  safe and sound. It is not until during our  2 hours drive to the hotel that we almost got into a car accident 3 times! A small Prius tried to push  us o...

Day 2 Connecticut to Pennsylvania to Maryland

5:45PM arrived at Moosic, PA Tesla super charging station with 44 miles left It took 3 hours from the last charging station to this PA charging station - that long stretch was a bit too long for the little one. She was getting a little restless, but luckily with FaceTime with family, playing with toys and drawing, we made it to PA just fine. Interestingly, the car said we would have 15% charge left when we arrive, but we actually had 17% from the regenerative braking. We have only driven the car in the winter with the observation that we loose more charges and miles  (a.k.a %) in the cold weather. However, with the weather getting warmer and warmer as we head south, we are loosing less charges as we have been experiencing in the winter. Moosic, PA charging station (Rating: 5/5) - A really big mall plaza with tons of shopping stores (great for the ladies! and kids!) - Plenty of restaurants that are walking distance within the plaza parking space - Clean The little one kept...
