It's a little over 9 hours from me driving and stopping frequently. I go alone and do what I want. I leave about 8 am get to the motel, get up and go to the shops all the next day. I go back to the motel and then go back to the shops if I think of anything I missed then leave to drive back home. It's a nice two day trip for me. I usually go on weekdays. I take my Featherweight with me to sew in the hotel room if I want. I go there with friends too but my trips by myself are just for me.
