Home again....

And, so ends another trip to the Carolinas.  It was a wonderful trip however, with so much to do in so little time. We left the IHOP at 9:07 this morning and arrived home at 3:30....so we made good time. (Oh, I had the "pancake platter" which consisted of 3 buttermilk pancakes and 4 pieces of bacon, and I chose the boysenberry syrup....wonderful!)  When we left it was only 26 outside and we had winter coats on.  By mid-Georgia we were down to t-shirts and open windows.  The trip was good, but the youngest got car sick.  We had done so much driving in the mountains that I think the drive home sent her over the edge.  Luckily she hung on till we got home, and is now resting in front of the tv.  The strangest thing happend on the way home.  We were about 10 miles from the GA/FL border, and it was cloudy and rainy where we were.  But up ahead, we could see a line of light in the sky.  As we came closer to the border, it got brighter and brighter until we had to put our sunglasses on as we were crossing into the sunshine state!  It was so weird!  We definately knew we were home!  So, now, I sit at my computer, frantically reading journals, as my aunt's cable connection went out on her computer after my last entry.  It's amazing what you can miss in only two days!  Anyhoo, I am going to finish reading a few, and then go to bed....I feel a sore throat coming on!  (BTW mrscheesestix....I forgot the coupon in NC....AAAAhhhhhhhh!)

Glad you made it home safe and sound. It's fun to go on vacation, but it sure feels good to get home too. I always miss my own bed and pillows. Hope you and your daughter will feel better. Mmmmm IHOP, wish there was one here!!!

How could you forget the most important souvenier! Maybe they could send it to you. Glad you had a great trip. I would like to be in Florida right now, the temperature is 12 here and hasn't gone above that in like 2 weeks. I am so sick of being cold. Send me some of that great Florida sun.
