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 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...

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 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...
