Visit with Danny April 25

This has been a fun week. On Wed we had to find a Walmart supercenter cause we were out of a lot of stuff. Wed. evening we headed to Red Lobster (my favorite) to met up with Danny for supper. It was great and we had a good visit even though it was a short visit. Danny keeps very busy with his teaching assist job, Kid's place after school job, taking classes on Fri and Sat's, and coaching the AAU girls team. I was glad he could work us in to his schedule. (of course we planned our trip on the week he was not going to be in classes). On Friday Reid and Danny found a golf course and played 18 holes of golf. Danny spent the night with us and on Sat morning he and I headed to the gym for his tournaments. It brought back memories of all the times I've spent in the gym with him and Stephanie..I'd forgotten out much we parents got into the games.
We finished up around noon and it was decided that Reid and Danny had time to do some more golfing so they head back to the course...I stayed home and watched the Braves play.. we're on a roll, Three straight wins!!!!Go braves.
Once the guys were home I had the steaks and potatoes ready for the grill so that's how we finished off our day.. I so love my visits with the kids.
Now I have to get this rig ready to travel tomorrow. Next stop: hometown. We'll be "home" for a week visiting family and dr's visits. updates later.

Moved on to Tennessee Apr 21

We packed up and headed out of Hilton Head, SC on Monday morning. The weather was great (we were expecting rain all day but it was nice). We had a great time here and glad we decided to make this one of our stops this spring. The golf tournament was great and the park was really nice. We drove about 4 hrs and stopped for the night somewhere in northwest SC. Today we traveled the rest of the way to Knoxville, TN. This is where our son lives and we're visiting him for the next few days. This park is an Escapees park and it's cramped, the sites are short and narrow but it's near where we need to be and beside there's nothing else any better in this area..
Reid said if our bedroom slide was any closer to our neighbors bedroom slide we'd need a marriage certificate with them.. (I thought that was funny). We went out for lunch cause I really need to get groceries and to checked out a "new" rv park that we saw a sign for from the interstate and it was funny...someone took a piece of land right by the road and put in a few power boxes and is calling it an rv park..where we're at is better and that's not saying much..
The weather is suspose to be nice the rest of the week and that's good cause Reid is wanting to get in some golfing and we're meeting Danny for supper tomorrow night. He has to work till 6pm and tonight he also had ball practice (he coaches an AAU 9-12 yr old team) so we made plans to see him tomorrow after work.
Now I'm watching my Braves play and I'm not real happy with them..they haven't been playing good lately after a strong start... I know it's only April and the season is long but they're my Braves and I want them to win...go braves.

I finally get on a golf course April 15th

Yes I'm finally on the course and I can't play..What's up with that... We headed over to the golf course today to watch the Pro/Am practice round. We passed several courses before getting to the one the tournament is at..This island is pretty.. and we finally found the Atlantic coast. it's by the 18th hole.
We got an early start this morning, we wanted to get to the course and find out what we needed to know so tomorrow we would know where to go and not go. We got to see several big name players...like BOO, I think he's my favorite to watch this weekend. We saw him tee off and he had a big crowd following him around the course..I believe Reid said he won this match last yr. I have to say I had a good time at my first time at a course and I know tomorrow will be fun cause it's the pro's only playing. The weather was great with the high reaching 70 and sunny..The forecast all weekend is suspose to be great. Now all I have to do is find a seafood place to try and my trip will be complete.

Hilton Head & a quick trip to Savannah Apr 13

We arrived on Hilton Head Island on Monday after a long 200 mile drive from Stephanie's. We arrived about 1pm and by 3 is was raining. OK pouring. That continued the rest of the afternoon and throughout most of the night. There were some storms but nothing that was severe so we can handle some rain. On Tues we headed to Savannah..To begin with Reid thought it was a lot closer than it actually is..It's over an hr drive from here and we didn't get ready to leave here till almost 11. Once we arrived we really didn't know where to go or what to do. We found the visitor center and it offered various buses and trolley tours. but because of the lateness of the day we decided to drive around ourselves. Bad idea..Everyone else had the same idea. it was crowded, congested (road construction and road closes) We decided very quickly that we can't rush a trip to Savannah so we're going to go back again at another time and spend 2 or 3 days just in Savannah.. We found a couple of RV parks that a lot closer than this park here on HH Island so that's our plans next time through. Beside as Reid says "this is a golfing week anyway"

Happy Easter Everyone

Hey it's me again. Happy Easter to everyone. The day was beautiful. It was sunny, warm and had a nice breeze. I fixed a big dinner/lunch for Easter. Stephanie came over to enjoy it with us. She stayed for a little while but we had to say our goodbyes cause she's in leadership classes and had to go home and study and then get some sleep, she usually works nights and her days while in classes start at 5:30 am. We were glad her classes started this week cause it gave her more time to visit with us. I hate saying good byes so we just leave it with hugs and see ya next time through...I hope we get to see her when we head back through in the fall but sometimes her schedule doesn't allow it.
Tomorrow we're off to SC. We'll be staying in Hilton Head SC and we'll be going to see a golf match next week. We've never been to a match so this should be fun and interesting. We're also going to spend a day in Savannah. That's been one of the cities I've wanted to see since we started traveling and we're finally in the area to see it. I'm looking forward to it and I'll be sharing it with ya'll. After this week I'll be seeing my other guy...Danny, I can't wait...

Our week in Georgia

Sorry I haven't posted but I've been fighting a virus or something..yuck..I'll now update everyone. We had a great week in Gulf Shores and visiting with Tim and Jean. We decided to check out the sunset on Saturday night. There's a bar/grill called Tacky Jacks and it overlooks Mobile Bay so we had a wonderful view. We spent Sunday getting ready to leave and after a trip to walmart for supplies we had lunch one more time at the Shrimp basket.. On Monday we headed to GA. It was the longest travel day we've had since our trip begin. It was about a 7 hr day..The day was very windy so Reid had to fight the wind all day. We went out and about some on Tues and Wed Reid wanted to golf..Steph was going to be off work on Wed so she spent the night and she and I hung out. By Wed afternoon I was starting to feel bad with chills, fever, headache, just awful.. these symptoms came and went for the next day and a half so I don't know what was wrong. I'm feeling better today no chills and fever but just blah.. Stephanie will be here soon and she will spend the weekend with us. We're going to watch the Braves game on tv (weather permitting) and have Lasagna (one of her favorites) and tomorrow we're grilling out. Everyone take care...

The sun does shine in GS April 3rd

We got to our RV part Monday about noon. The day was fine. The clouds rolled in on Tues and the downpours started Tues night. Again I like rain so it's ok for a while. It then rained off and on on Wed and was cloudy the rest of the day and on Thurs it was storms...no wind so I never really felt threatened but downpours after downpours..One storm would move out and a break in the weather then the next storm. This went on all day. We decided to go out for supper with Tim and Jean cause we were tired of being inside so we headed to the Shrimp basket...great seafood.. loved it..Reid wants to go back on Sunday. he had the shrimp basket (ha what else would you order at "the shrimp basket" right) any way T&J had the blacken fish and Reid sampled it and loved it so he wants to try an order of it..
Today has been just beautiful. The sun was out early, no clouds in the sky and the temp a nice 70 degrees..The four of us headed out the see the area and checked out a new development specializing in deeded property, then it was off to the state park to see the camp grounds there. We then decided to have lunch and found a nice seafood place (Doc's) excellent gumbo (per Reid) and the Shrimp was super. (I'll eat regular stuff once we leave the coast) We're grilling out tonight so I'll be getting that stuff ready soon. Tomorrow promises to be another beautiful day so more later.
