ON THE ROAD AGAIN

We left Wilson Lake on October 3^rd after 2 days of frantic packing during the daylight and visiting with friends in the evenings. With Maine in the rearview mirror we head south to Florida having planed several stops along the way. Our first day was the longest drive, stopping for the night in Cabela’s parking lot located in Hamburg PA. This worked out great, as we didn’t even have to unhook the trailer. This rout avoided all the craziness of the greater NY metropolitan area. The next day was a more reasonable distance stopping in Charlottesville, VA. Here we spent 3 days visiting the homes of 3 of our “Founding Fathers” Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and James Madison. Learning about these people and how they impacted the early years of our country was most interesting.

From Charlottesville we took a meandering rout on local roads through the hilly countryside south to the Raleigh, NC area where our niece Mary was getting married. This visit was made extra special as both Zach and Abe were flying in for the event. We appreciate these rare and special times that bring us all together. The wedding was a grand event affording us the ability to visit with many friends and family members. After the wedding we were able to spend several days with Marg and Dave, old friends of Diana’s from when she lived in Durham NC.

The next leg of the journey brought us to Savannah, GA to spend several days with Mike and Carol, the father and mother of the bride. From there we worked our way to southern Georgia to Crooked River State Park giving us a great place to stay so we could visit Cumberland Island National Seashore. The island has miles of undisturbed ocean front beaches and many trails throughout its wooded interior. Tomorrow we will finish up this southerly journey arriving at our home in Titusville, Florida.

We have arrived! That is one week ago. Things have been hectic. Cleaning, moving in, getting cable and Internet, furniture delivered, multiple trips to Lowes, cleaning and visiting with friends. Off to Iowa tomorrow morning for David's 40th Class Reunion from Veterinary College.
