First and Foremost:
I want to say that We are home safely!
(It was a definite act of grace that God poured upon us abundantly I might add)
and that It feels good to be back to my stinky (still) home...
with all of its numerous amenities!
So to wrap up our Thanksgiving week and get back into the boring and mundane I must report of our drive back home!
Let me say Secondly:
GOODBYE VILLAGER PEOPLE!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On our way home... not knowing how closely I-95 ran to the coast: I ask my husband:
Are we in the middle of the state (Georgia) or are we say... near the coast???
He says: 'Near the coast!"
I say: "Think we could go to the beach???"
Thinking he would say "NO!"
he says with a little hesitation and a hopeful "just kidding" on my part
"You wanna go to the beach?"
and I say "Uh-Huh!"
You must understand that Dennis and I are "on-the-road-travelers,-bring-a-cup-to-pee-in cause-we-ain't-stoppin-kinda-people"
The beach was a stretch of the imagination
Giving me a couple of miles to really think about it he says:
"Are you sure you wanna go to the beach??"
I say: "yEs!"
So he takes the very next exit.
I said:
"Do you even know where you are going?"
he says: "I say that as long as we go east far enough we should run into the beach"
Gladly taking his word for it I just search for signs of water all around.
It was here somewhere.. boats were in yards and every store was named:
"Sea Breeze" or "Coastal.."
I felt that we were near water.
We were!!! We ended up at a naval base. Not exactly what I had in mind but it was beautiful anyway.
Take a look at our unplanned sightings today.

Getting Closer..........

BELOW: My FAVORITE picture EVER..... I take ALL of my pics with my cell phone and look how beautiful it turned out!!!!





There were more water photos but I didn't feel like sending them all to the computer!
We hit rain in South Carolina and we stayed in it steady all the way to the driveway!
It was THE LONGEST trip but its over and we are happy to be home!
Goodnight Guys!!!!
