I busted out of work early today and drove 80 miles north to my hometown. This type of trip isn't an everyday occurrence, but I wanted to be there to see my niece play in her first college lacrosse game.
Sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s made for a nice afternoon on the bleachers. It was a little windy but my group came prepared with extra blankets to protect us all from cold aluminum seating and wind gusts.
The home team played well and won with a score of 21 to 11, leaving no doubt who was the better team on the field.
The last whistle came at about 7:30 so I said quick goodbyes and headed to the car.
Before heading home to DC I needed to make one more stop. I needed to get my WaWa fix.
If there are any WaWa fans out there, you know what I mean. The rest of you? I bet you haven't been lucky enough to find yourself under the red neon lights of a great WaWa.
Gas is cheap there. Bathrooms are clean and the sandwiches? Well, they're damn good.
A perfect afternoon was topped off with an easy ride south-no traffic to speak of- and a WaWa sandwich tucked in my fridge ready to go in my lunch tomorrow.

Hmm - I'll put WaWa on my travel agenda! Sounds like a perfect rest stop.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you—that sounds like an ideal way to spend the first warm afternoon of the year!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great night for a drive and a hoagie. I like how your post started off with "I busted out"- it prepared me to go on the adventure with you as a reader!
ReplyDeleteThere is major WaWa fandom out there, and your post is perfect for anyone who hasn't sipped their kool-aid.
