Day 4: On the road!

Today we began our trek up to Akron, via a very long detour through Weston, WV.  We stopped for dinner in Fayetteville, WV  (“The coolest small town in America, 2006” according to BudgetTravel Magazine and “Best River Town 2013” according to Blue Ridge Outdoors) and met the Marquis de Lafayette, a revolutionary war hero!

And Dov and Addie were lucky to survive their gator encounter…

Yikes!  There's a gator under this bench!
