This morning we started our 2 day journey to St. Simons Island, to visit with Dan’s grandpa. We started a little later than planned because wiggy needed some extra play time! Who can say no so my sweet girl?! We left Chicago about 6:45AM! Dan and I shared driving the rental car. It’s not either of our favorite car. We put the back seats completely flat and wiggy is having a great trip so far!! 😃 we stopped at the Tennessee welcome center and wiggy had tons of grass to walk around in, and friends to play with! We arrived at our hotel in Knoxville a little before 5. Wiggy ate all her chow😀 and relaxed in the nice AC! It’s about 88 degrees and humid here, not bad. Dan and I walked to have a drink at voodoo to get some exercise and stretch our legs. We brought Mac and cheese from dinner this past week to eat in the hotel and it was such a good idea! 😋 now just relaxing and watching tv before we finish the trip tomorrow!!Leggi altro

Today was day 2 of the car ride. We left Knoxville, Tennessee about 9:00AM. We drove on some very twisty roads through the mountains, which was very pretty. I think everyone was less excited about the drive, but baby girl Wiggy was not happy at all today! She should have been, she got eggs and bacon for breakfast! 🥓🍳Dan and I decided to make a detour to Charleston, SC for a late lunch. We had some good barbecue, but we forgot how hot and humid it was outside. After eating lunch outside, all 3 of us were ready to be back in the car with AC. While on this last portion of the drive we drove through some swamps. Dan said, “that’s a Georgia swamp.” Only realize after he said it, we were still in South Carolina! 😆We made it to SSI about 7:15PM. We unpacked and headed right over to see Dans grandpa. It was a nice visit, but a very long day!Leggi altro

Today we experienced the Georgia heat! Wiggy and I woke up and tried walking too the beach, but the sidewalk was closed and we didn’t make it. I planned on taking her in the car to run on the beach, but she was too tired! The Georgia heat isn’t a joke! The feels like today was about 116! Dan and I went to the beach without wiggy for a little. We had lunch at Iguanas, we both had delicious blackened mahi-mahi! Lunch came with soft serve so we had some of course! Then we walked around the shops a little. The heat was a lot for us so we all came and hung out and rested at the rental. For dinner we brought Sea Palms dinner back and had it with his Grandpa. Then came back to the rental and had ice cream with wiggy and watched TV.Leggi altro

Day trip to Savannah
8 agosto 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
This morning Wiggy and I went to the beach so she could play! She had the best time running on the sand, going in and out of the water, and playing ball! She looked a little crazy because she was so excited! Dan and I decided to take a day trip to Savannah. It was an hour easy drive. We walked through Forsyth park. Ate lunch at The Olde Pink House, Dans pulled pork was amazing. I had a Cheerwine. Which is like a cherry Pepsi, but better and a southern thing! We walked around Savannah and down brought on street. Went into a couple cute shops. We picked up a souvenir for a wild young man we know. Then started to walk back to the car! On the walk back we saw the first Girl Scouts building. They have clean public restrooms you can use, Dan stopped and I kept walking to get the car. While I was walking a lovely Southern summer storm hit! For about 10 minutes I was pelted with rain, thunder, lightning. When I picked Dan up, he was in shock because he didn’t know it even rained! We got back and took wiggy to the beach again to run and play! She loves the beach! 🌊☀️🏝️ Dan and I went to Fiddlers for a late dinner, the seafood soup was amazing!-I needed something warm because it was cold after we got stuck in a thunderstorm that started as we parked! So much rain!!!Leggi altro

Viaggiatore I’m reading a book about Savannah, and it sounds just as lovely as you said! I’m glad it cooled down a bit for you, but hope you don’t get hit by too many storms!

Lazy day
9 agosto 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
This morning Wiggy was so tired from all her fun yesterday she barely wanted to wake up and go out. No beach today for anyone. A walk around the neighborhood and breakfast at cafe Frederica. Breakfast was soo good! After breakfast we looked at a condo for sale just for funsy! I dropped Dan off to visit with his grandpa and ran a couple errands and gave wiggy cuddles! I then joined Dan and his grandpa for the afternoon. We went for dinner at Barbra Jeans. Dinner was huge and pretty good. We walked to the Pier after to see some shark fishing. We were too early to see any action though. So back to the rental to do laundry and relax!Leggi altro

This morning Wiggy and I went to the beach. She loves the beach so much and never wants to leave it! Dan and I went to the Pier again today to walk around and check out that beach. We saw so many hermit crabs! We went home and ate our leftovers for a late lunch and rested. The Georgia heat is hot! Dan and I played 9 holes of golf at Sea palms. It wasn’t bad and it wasn’t good… we then took dinner from there to his grandpa and visited a bit. I chipped my tooth on a on the burger so that was a bummer for me! 😳 then home to do laundry and get ready to leave tomorrow! 🙁Leggi altro

Starting the drive back to Chicago

Today we have to leave SSI! 🙁Wiggy and I got up early to have one last beach morning, it was so wonderful and worth the early wake up! Wiggy got a bath after of course. We cleaned and packed up the car, and went to say bye to Dans grandpa. We hit the road about 11Am. We drove through some crazy storms. Wiggy heard and saw the rain, jumped off her seat and hid under the folded down seats and the front passenger seat! She really hates the rain! We are listening to the books Gilded and now onto the second book, Cursed! We made it to London, Kentucky a little before 10PM. We were both exhausted, but wiggy was ready to party! 🙃Leggi altro
