Road Trip!!!!
17 November 2015
Becky
We both have road trips planned--- Robert has to go to Richmond, VA for business, and I have a very special birthday party to attend in Asheboro, NC. Little miss Gretchen is turning 5!!!!
And so the shuffle begins!!!
We get a rental car from Enterprise, and I borrow the marina loaner car to take Robert to pick it up. Then, I take the rental to do some birthday shopping, and Robert drives back to the marina. Of course, it's raining--AGAIN!!!!
Early Tuesday morning, we pile in the Jeep we rented, and head out. I drive while Robert works en route. We are heading to Kenly, NC to pick up our RV (better known as Elvie). She has a new generator, and has been stored at the repair shop waiting for us.
We make it to Kenly around 1 pm. After a quick lunch at Arby's, we go our separate ways. Robert drives the Jeep, and Maggie and I settle in to Elvie.
The trip to Asheboro was uneventful. Maggie is a perfect car companion. She slept the entire ride.
I'm greeted in Asheboro with lots of hugs and kisses---- Gretchen is super excited, as today is her actual birthday.
We head to Delishi--- Her favorite frozen yogurt shop for a special birthday treat!!!!
The rest of the week is a fun-filled, crazy busy time. By Saturday, we're all set for the birthday party, and PaPa Robert has arrived!!!
Robert makes a quick run to Charlotte to visit our friend, Joe Friday. So thankful it worked out!!
The birthday party is a huge success. The house is full of squealing, laughing children-- running and playing!!!
On Sunday, PaPa departs again for Richmond-- he'll be there for the next week.
I decide to travel back to Savannah on Monday.
Monday morning comes very soon, and I must say goodbye. Gotta get on the road again!!
The trip to Savannah was about 5 hours. Elvie drove like a dream, with no incidents. Maggie and I are home by 1 pm.
I relax, try to nap without success, so I read and watch TV.
It's gonna be an early night!! I had sooo much fun, but this is one tired grandma!!!!!
