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 SC to GA to FL

10:23AM arrived at Santee, SC charing station (attached picture shows information the car gives us when we have it plugged in including the current miles (98mi), how much mi/hr charge, kW and charge current we are getting, and the recommended minutes to charge (25 minutes) in order to continue onto the next charging station or the trip) 10:42AM  charged with 171 miles. We are leaving Santee, SC charging station.  Rating: 2/5 There are no shops around for us. There are apartments in the area with several hotels. It felt a little unsafe and it was somewhat confirmed by a scene of a woman by Holiday Inn acting upset. Turned out her car windows were seriously damaged. So... we quickly left for Savannah, GA. We will have 20% charge left when we arrive at 12:27PM.  12:15PM Priority - FOOD! We got distracted by southern BBQ so we ended up at Shane's Rib Shack first. Being foodadicts as we are, we ordered too much and were too full for seafood spread afterwards. The...

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...
