Drive to Charleston, WV
First day was solely a driving day. Deb drove while I worked. We stopped for lunch and saw a City Barbeque, which got our hopes up because there used to be one in Orland Park that was pretty good. Unfortunately, this one wasn't. The meat was just OK, pretty dry, and the cornbread was burned (it was brown) Deb said it seemed like they got carried away with the smoker and smoked the cornbread too. No one seemed thrilled about working there either.
We continued on to Charleston and out first Fairfield Inn of the trip. There was a nice looking Italian place across the street called The Olive Tree, so we walked over there after checking in. The food there was meh, not bad but pretty averagell around. So not much to say for the day, just your typical travel day.
