PRESIDENTS DAY AND THE LONG RIDE HOME

Monday, February 18, 2013
Cornelius, North Carolina/Sunny and low 60s
After saying good bye to Mary Lou, Scorchy, and their golfing friends Stan and Gene (from Canada and Michigan) about 8 a.m., we got on the road for home. 

As we left Florida we saw many trees (orange trees, saplings, etc.) with individual sprinklers to mitigate the night’s frost. Orange trees faded away and we saw Georgia peanut road side stands. The weather was dry and sunny and we made good time.

We finally finished listening to Lee Childs’ The Enemy, a Jack Reacher prequel about an intriguing story of MPs, his mother who was a French resistance fighter, dead generals, and the fear of change in the military after the fall of the Berlin wall.  

We stopped to eat at Chili’s in Columbia, South Carolina hoping to avoid a traffic jam. Because it was Presidents Day we ended up having no traffic problems and arrived at the Hampton Inn-Lake Norman in Cornelius, South Carolina by 6:30 p.m.

Driving home is not very exciting, and we really aren’t looking forward to snow and ice and 20F weather, but we are looking forward to seeing our family!!!!!!!!!!!!!
