A short blog to catch up from the past few days.
We spent three days in Valrico, Florida, at the home of Carol’s sister and her husband, Janet and Buddy, and their new dog, Ruby. It was a time of relaxing, and enjoying time together while watching football and baseball.
It took a while for Ruby to warm up to us, but it wasn’t long before she was all smiles.
We left Valrico on Tuesday morning and drove north into Georgia and then west toward our campground near Columbus and Fort Benning, a total of 485 miles. For the trip. we surpassed 8,000 miles. From the campground after dark, we heard training exercises from the base, mainly gunfire and low-flying helicopters.
On Wednesday we headed back to I-75, passing acres of pecan trees, peach orchards and extensive solar farms. Our campground is a very nice KOA about 60 miles south of Atlanta. We spent a relaxing afternoon playing cards on the picnic table near the pond behind our site. Everything was the best it could be — until we saw the Red Sox game!
Our site is nestled in the iconic tall pines of Georgia.
It’s on to Atlanta early tomorrow morning. We have 9:30 a.m. entry tickets to the Georgia Aquarium and we anticipate heavy morning traffic and uncertain parking. As bad as it might be though, it won’t be worse than getting through Houston earlier in the week — we hope!
