Well here I am sitting in my recliner with a chilled glass of Chardonnay and the air conditioner is hard at work. Finally, after five days of running around hither and yon, I can relax. I know you all feel for me and will tell me so.
Last Friday (after a full day of pulling that 10 ton trailer around), we arrived at an RV park in Norcross, GA, just north of Atlanta. I was so tired that we had to take a day off and rest. We went to Wal-Mart for some items and to Publix for groceries. Ann insisted on relaxing the rest of the day. Of course, I wanted to keep going, but to keep the peace, I agreed.
Sunday was Mother’s Day. After talking to Heidi, Andrew and Caroline on Skype, we went to the Jimmy Carter Center. The grounds are like an oasis in the middle of Atlanta. A beautiful place and very well done. Adam and Debra joined us for dessert. Ann really enjoyed her day.
Monday we hobbled over to the Atlanta History Museum. There we saw the Swan house, which was built by the Innman family around 1931. We could only take pictures of the outside. Also on the grounds was the Tullie Smith House, which was brought to the grounds of the museum along with several farm buildings to recreate a farm in the area in the mid 1800s. In the main building of the museum was an excellent display with an audio tour of the Civil war. The causes and the aftermath. Well worth the trip.
Monday evening we got together with Adam, Debra and Ethan for dinner.
Tuesday we left Atlanta for Savannah. We arrived right outside Savannah about 5:30 PM. We are staying here for 2 nights. Today we made a mistake, I am sure not our first and not our last. We took a tour on one of those trolley tours. A waste of $60. I must say it is not the complete fault of the Trolley Operator, the town does not have much to offer (in our opinion). It seems the only claim to fame for the town is that the movies “Forest Gump” and “The Garden of Good and Evil” were both shot here. Other than that we were not impressed. Tomorrow we are heading NW toward the coast. Charlestown, SC or maybe Myrtle Beach. We will let you know.
Now you can see why we are EXHAUSTED. So all sympathy emails will be appreciated.
To be Continued…
