We woke up this morning no worse for wear. The evening had been a lot of fun and we both slept well after our baby fix. We left the hotel just before 8 AM and headed back to the city for another look. Lindsay's father, Bob, gave us some pointers on where to go to get a better view of Charleston. We drove to The Battery, which is a promenade down by the harbor, known for its Antebellum homes. Other than Lady Antebellum, I had never heard that term before, bu...

And off we go, at 6:45 AM we hit the road, headed for Charleston, SC for an evening with Max, our grandson. Both houses buttoned up, we will not be sleeping in our own beds for a month. A new bed every night and many of you know what a challenge that is for me. But onward we go, complaints in my back pocket. And if the bed is too hard, there is always a way to deal with that…a lot of wine and maybe something to help me relax a bit more. Lindsay is attending...

It has been a year since our last cross-country road trip, and here we go again. Some may think us brave, some may think us foolish, and some may even think we are just plain crazy, but with Solivita once again in our rearview mirror, we are off for another adventure, to explore what is truly a magnificent country, our country, the USA. Our sites are on the wineries of Oregon and Washington State. And if all goes well, we may even hop up to Vancouver, BC and take...

6/5/12 – We left Savannah, GA at 7:45, 74 degrees, and headed down I-95 to Florida and home sweet home. I was up early this morning. Once the car was pointed south, I was anxious to get there. We arrived at 1 PM, and it surely felt good to be back. The house was comfy and ready for us, thanks to Pat and Andy. Great friends.Well, when we began this adventure, I paused a bit, unsure that we would make it all the way without a major blow-up of some kind. But I...

6/4/12 – We left Michelle, Brett and Danielle in Apex, NC at 8:20 AM, 68 degrees and headed for Savannah, Ga. It was not raining when we left, but it rained most of the trip to Georgia. The storm was following us down the road.We chose to set out on some back roads, rather than the customary I-95 route that we know so well. And it proved to be scenic and a better choice. For anyone who is familiar with I-95 and North Carolina going south, or South Carolina ...
