Missed connection + lure of Blacksburg = car rental

The trip to Blacksburg started off with a bang. More like a lot of rain and fog which kept our plane from landing at Logan, which kept us from going to DC on time. This whole thing meant we would miss our connection at DC and we'd have to wait till morning to fly to Roanoke. We ended up in Dulles at 11:00 pm and decided that we didn't want to stay at a hotel so we rented a car and drove to Blacksburg. 81 was foggy and pretty much exactly like I remembered it at late hours. Good thing I did all those late night 81 drives to prepare for this. We got in about 4 am and immediately crashed. Got up the next day, went to the football game which now gives us back to back 45-0 wins. Granted over crappy teams. I got to see 205A Barger the house I lived in first year of grad school. They put in a bathroom and it is awful, it took away part of the kitchen and two of the walls are pegboard. It's rediculous. All in all a good day, Hokie football, Souvlaki, Rivermill and apparently Xanja is being an angel. Time for day 2, which will include breakfast at Gillie's and dinner at the Homeplace. Should be a good day in Billy's burg.
