Dialogue for the previous Post
Elyssa and Julia,
Nana missed you today when Poppa and I went to see the Jepson Museum and Gallery. They had a glass house to play in and and spot to sit down and pick out a book. I picked a book for us to read called Emily's Art. Lots of things to see.
Miss you, Nana

Torrential Rain to Beautiful Day
We slept in until 8:30 am and had breakfast at the motel and headed out in a rainstorm. It poured all the way to Savannah and then when we got here and picked a motel we got our sandles nd short sleeves out to keep us cool. The temperature was up to 80 F and when the sun came out the water that had soaked into the ground was creating a steam bath. The moisture is so great for your skin and I cannot believe how quickly all the sandpaper skin, soaks it up. I wish we could bottle this as a makeup product. It was around 2:00 pm by the time we headed downtown to see the sights. Parking is free downtown on Sundays if you can find a spot. We parked at Orleans square and headed over to the City Market to see the shops that we remembered from our trip.
Some of the artist we meet on the trip are still there and we were happy to see Jim Pennington. One of our favourites is the woman in red, which his latest redition he offered for $650.00.
On the way back to the motel we picked up some chicken, salad and champagne. We were told at Garden City we could not buy the champagne on sunday but we could in Savannah.

Long drive over and done
We headed out at 4:00 am with a light slick of snow on the roads. By the
time we got to Windsor we were on dry pavement. We missed the I75
turn off at Detroit and so lost about a half hour figuring our way
back. Great opportunity to see downtown Detroit and all the lights.
By the time I got a map out and checked out the route, I realized you
can connect with the interstate on either 96 or 94 you just have to
head south on the first freeway you come to.
My favourite part of the drive was North Carolina on the way to
Asheville.
Tonight
we are back at Spartanburg, South Carolina at the Super 8.
Nice to have the Grandkids to share our trip with.

Return to the Coast 2012
The opportunity has availed itself for us to go back to the Atlantic coast and return to some of the spots we enjoyed so much on our trip in 2008-2009. This time we will be motoring and hopefully filling in some blanks that occured while on the trip. Our plan is to head out on Saturday February 17, 2012 early early morning and head south via Interstate 75 -4o -26. Our first stop will be Spartanburg and our first day of touring will be when we get to Savannah. (that beautiful city).
