Welcome to the post for the first ever road trip I've taken in my travel passion/career. With this being my first trip that I've taken pictures on, I only have 38 photos on the trip itself, but 51 for the whole day. I will only be showing some of the 38 from the main trip.
The First Trip - Part One
On the morning of 11/27/22, I was heading back from New Kent County, where I had stayed with some extended relatives for a couple nights, and I took a few bad road pictures in the rain. Shortly after 11 AM, I stopped at the Mechanicsville Christian Center with my Uncle for a church service and afterwards left to go to Short Pump. I spent some time eating there, and I hit the road to head back to the Charlottesville area.
The First Trip - Part Two
I took my first picture of the actual trip at 2:44 PM, my style of taking road pictures was way different than it is today. My next picture did not come until 7 minutes later, at 2:51 PM. Around 3:02 PM, I got to Westbound I-64's exit 152, and decided to take it, since there was a traffic backup just west of the exit.

| 7 miles away from US 522. |
 |
| I assume this is after US 522’s exit. |
I took that route to its end at US 522, and took that north, where I passed through the small community of Apple Grove, and got 3 pictures before I reached US 33. I turned left, and took US 33 to Louisa, where I got a few pictures in Louisa. At 3:44 PM, I turned right at the west end of the US 33/VA-22 concurrency, to head towards Gordonsville.

| US 33 and US 522 are concurrent for about a mile. |
 |
| US 33 and VA-22 also go with VA-208 in Louisa. This picture is my Flickr account’s profile image. |

At 3:53 PM, I reached US 15, and headed into Orange County, and Gordonsville. I continued on US 33, to head towards Barboursville and Ruckersville, and at 4:03 PM, I took my final photo of the trip, just west of Barboursville.

Afterwards:
I had set my short-lived record for most photos in a day (obviously, since this is the first picture I've ever taken road pictures on). That would be broken on December 10, 2022, on my Waynesboro Trip. The way I take my photos has changed a ton since. The US 33/VA-22 split image found itself on the background of this website, and the US 33/VA-22/VA-208 concurrency image has been my Flickr account's profile image.
The trip would also become the first ever post on this website after getting created from the Hunty Roads Road Trips page.
