Not much to say about 8 hours in the car on I-95 (eight lanes wide! only in some places...) I spent my formative years spending summer vacations on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. So for the 20+ years of my life the only part of North Carolina that I ever saw was a small portion of the Tidewater, and the Banks. In the past few years, Andy and I visited Asheville & Charlotte, and I saw a whole other side of a state with which I thought I was very familiar (the mountainous side). Now, I've finally driven down the middle of it. And seen almost NONE of the middle of it. Because I-95 is a modern American marvel--a road bordered by so much mature tree growth that you can drive for hundreds of miles in what seems like a green tunnel. I never thought I'd find a stretch of road more boring than the Ohio Turnpike, but I did. So all I've seen down the middle of North Carolina is lots of trees, and about 85 billboards for South of the Border (sorry Andy, we didn't stop there).
Also saw 2 May 21 Judgement Day billboards, the Ben Bernanke interchange (not kidding), and a distribution center for Piggly Wiggly (for all the other grocery nerds out there...).
Only other observation is that there is in fact another state in the union with roads as bad as Pennsylvania, and that's South Carolina.
