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 3 12 Hours Left! VA to NC

3:15AM Driving to Rocky Mount - Oh no! The Wife is DRIVING! Wife finally woke up and took over the driving for the husband to sleep.  While the wife was driving and everyone was sleeping in the dark, quiet night, it did feel like we were running away from a crime scene, being chased by the police officials. And for a moment, it felt like we were beating them -  Nothing can go wrong when you got one of your partners in crime with you in the passenger seat and one in her car seat with her secret weapon - baby doll Daisy? 65 degrees outside at 3am. Very nice! We want to say we feel bad leaving our friends and families behind in the cold, rainy weather of Maine but as you know, we are awful at lying ... so we will admit it, we are loving the heat :-) 5:25AM arrived at Rocky Mount, NC super charging station. The car suggests we charge for only 15 minutes to continue to the next charging station, which is what we did. The wife continued to drive.  Rating: 3...

Day 3 NC to SC

7:33 AM arrived at Fayetteville charging station. We wanted to go to a diner but with everyone so hungry, we just parked the car at the charing station and decided to try out Waffle House for the first time. We had to cross the street which was SCARY. The Waffle House was the smallest building and the smallest Waffle House building we have ever seen. When we walked in, EVERYONE turned and stared at us. Why? Because we are not sure if there are any Asians who cross through this neighborhood. The employees were African American and all the customers were African American. It felt like they had just saw our faces on America's Most Wanted. It reminded the wife of the time she brought her African American friends to an Asian restaurant in an Asian neighborhood. We laughed about it, made good conversations and some new friends before we finished up our low quality breakfast.  Rating of super charging station: 2/5 Not a lot of useful shops around for us. Was not very clean.  ...

Day 1 April 19,2017 - all charged and ready to go!

April 19 - we worked all day and came home by 4:30pm. We threw everything that we were bringing on the trip into our luggages. Somehow the little one's things took up 1.5 luggage! We packed so fast amd so many things - you would have thought we were running out of the country because the FBI and squad team were coming to get us. We made sure to let Grandma know to not let the little one nap so she can nap during the car ride to Somerville/Boston, the wife's college friend's condo. Successful! Trip down to Somerville, MA Charge when leaving home: 168 miles and stopped by Grandma's house on the way to pick up the little one. When the little one saw all the luggages and her sleeping bag, she said "Go hotel swimming Mama?" We had to prep her little mind that to was not a hotel, but telling her that we weren't staying at a hotel was too hard for her little mind to comprehend, so we said, "This place is like a hotel but it is too small to have a swimmi...
