Truman Booth (Day 2789 - 7/14/17)

Previous Vlog (Day 2788) | Next Vlog (Day 2790)

It's time for Stephen and Mallory to actually start heading home, but not before making a few last stops in Frostburg.

First, they have breakfast at Princess Restaurant, a 1950s-esque diner across the street from the hotel. Apparently, they sat down in the 'Truman booth', where Truman and his wife ate Father's Day dinner in 1953.

They also make a stop at Lorenzo's Bakery, which Stephen frequented with his grandfather whenever Stephen would visit him, so the bakery and its confections have a special place in Stephen's heart.

And lastly, they drop in to see Brenda, who is Stephen's maternal grandmother's sister. It was really great for Stephen to reconnect with his extended family, but also for Mallory to meet Stephen's extended family.

Anyway, on the drive back home, they record a promotional video for Mallory's Donkey Kong painting while they stop for a bite to eat.

Some time later, they get stuck in traffic for 90 minutes trying to get onto the I-95 expressway in Fredericksburg, VA. At this rate, even if they tried to continue driving to Myrtle Beach, they would be getting back really late, so they decide to book a hotel in Richmond, VA.

They finally make it to the hotel after a long day, and head to Mexico Restaurant for some food, which was pretty good. But now it's time to get some rest, before finally going home tomorrow.
