Back South with Family

We left Cleveland on Thursday morning and headed South - easier said than done in Cleveland!  We did notget  to the interstate until after noon!  It was probably “Giselle’s” fault - or maybe the navigator did not input the directions correctly...  So we drove without rain until we decided to find a motel and crash for the night.  Yes!  We did not search for a campground - you can tell when a trip is in its last days: a nice bed with a bathroom and free breakfast sounds exciting!  We stopped in Berea Kentucky after seeing the gorgeous blue grass pastures.   Someday we will get to Churchill Downs - but I hate wearing hats so it cannot be for the Derby!

Friday had us destined for Roswell GA to see our son and his family and their new house.   Roswell certainly is not what it was in the 70s when we moved to Atlanta.  Kevin’s new digs are in a wonderful neighborhood just off the main drag but amazingly secluded with big lots and lovely mature landscaping.  Hilda did great maneuvering in their driveway.  After a good dinner at a local Greek restaurant, we chilled by their pool.  We are trying to figure out why both of our kids have swimming pools and we do not...  

Saturday we drove through Atlanta (always an adventure) and on to Macon where our older grandchildren live.  Last stop on our 2018 odyssey!!!  All is well in Macon and we enjoyed a great dinner at Jimmy Shaw’s seafood restaurant.  You know they have secret recipes when a Yankee like me orders fried catfish!!!  Good time to catch up on all the millenials in our family are doing.  

And finally our trip comes to an end.  It was not quite six full weeks and we covered a little more than 6000 miles.  Hilda looks good and we look like the road food agreed with us...  Here’s to planning our next adventure!
