Everyone is driving except the wedding party.

It’s almost two hours by my calculation, but our hotel is another 30 min in the opposite direction so about three hours if we want to change.

Thanks.

I will consider this.

If you will consider this, then you're in for a real treat with the other thread!

It was eye-opening.

I’m 50+. I don’t want to make anyone jealous. I just want to not look out of place in either setting without having to change in the bathroom of a Sheetz.
