Kathy,
I have been through Marietta many times. when my mother was alive, I used to take her to see her sister in Salem, WVA. When the weather was nice I would take her down Rt. 50. I love WVA---it is one of my very favorites states to drive through. Do you ever go to Parkersburg to shop?
I went through the glass plant across the river from Marietta---I forget now what company it is but it was fun.
