Sounds like everyone is having a nice end of summer. We took a two week vacation. Left the first of August and got home on the 14th. Went to Lake Charles, New Orleans, Williamsburg, VA, Washington, DC, Anapolis, MD, Baltimore, MD, Philadelphia, PA, Gettysburg, PA, down the Blue Ridge Parkway to Grandfather Mountain in SC, over to Nashville, TN, Memphis, TN and back home. It was very much an American History tour, but had a wonderful time. Melissa, Garrett and Karen were able to go with us. It was the first time our little family took a long driving vacation in the US. We have always flown everywhere due to lack of vacation time. I burned my entire vacation on this trip, but it was well worth it.

It's a little hard to get back in the swing of things, but we're working on it. Would love to spend a few weeks in Greenville, SC. I've been there on business, and we stopped and ate there on this trip, and Rex agreed with me that it is beautiful and he would like to spend some time there, too. We'll have to park the RV there for a few weeks when we retire, if we ever do....
