10/20/09 Well we don't hang out towels at the RV parks, just our wreaths, trying desperately to save them, prognosis - not good!
10/20/09 OK, the pepper wreaths were not the best idea, next time we will have them shipped in December - a few days to get home, not two weeks - here they are in their splendor, however they took on a bit of mold - too much to remedy we're afraid!
10/20/09 A visit to our nephew Casey and his wife Nicky's new house on Chesapeake Bay! Absolutely beautiful, fabulous location and as all of us homeowners know - a ton of work!! With us are their charming, endearing children - our great nieces - Mackenzie in the back between us, Maeve on the left at the table and Maddy on the right!! We had a ball and they fed us a meal for kings!!!
10/19/09 We made it to Virginia from Helen, GA in one day - stayed at a great RV park on a lake - would be worth another visit!!
10/18/09 Our friends in Georgia - Evelyn, Michael, me, Bear, Henry, Truman and Ashton - a wonderful weekend had by all - have a game for you to check out - Mexican Train Dominoes!!! Fun - get the larger version for more people - and here's a tip if on vacation with a group - play each night, keep track of your scores, average at the end and the lowest average wins!!! Great way to add fun to your vacation - thanks to this group for the idea!!!
10/18/09 A very happy day for Truman - let's see water, boys and rocks - life doesn't get any better than this!!
10/18/09 The best RV park we've been too on our whole trip!! Our friends home in Georgia - kind enough to let us park in the driveway!!
10/17/09 How to eat and ear of corn, popped in the microwave from the Corn Palace in SD - by our friend Henry!!
10/17/o9 Popping a ear of corn, without the bag (it was a brown bag and of course we NEEDED to see exactly what happened) as is popped all over the microwave!!
10/17/09 Ashton enjoying his, couldn't wait to eat it!! And mom Evelyn looking on.....
10/17/09 Henry showing off his first one!!
10/17/09 Ashton and Henry with the infamous spiders!! Thanks to Lisa for marshmallow, licorice, chocolate, m&m and sprinkle spiders for Halloween!! Making them in an RV going through the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, another story in itself!!! But the boys loved them as you can see above!
10/16/09 A big welcome to Georgia from Ashton and Henry!!
10/16/09 As the sun was setting the clouds look like they were painted in the sky - this was is a keeper!!
10/16/09 Leaves changing colors - fall is here! Afraid to get back to CT, what does it look like there? We heard snow for this weekend!!
10/16/09 It was clearing up - sunshine in the distance and a colorful mountain in the background!!
10/16/09 Near Murphy and Blairsville, NC - going through the Appalachian foothills, great towns!
10/16/09 Another picture of the dam as we drove by, it was like lava rock almost!
10/16/09 A very cool dam, the third one we believe built on the Ocoee River - built in 1940 it looks like natural rock!!! See next photo too!
10/16/09 Color changing on trees already in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains!!
10/16/09 Rapids along the river, the summer Olympics were held here in 1996 or thereabouts!! Nature at it's best!
10/16/09 Our trip to Helen, GA included a drive along the Ocoee River Gorge (Named by the Cherokee - meaning "apricot vine place") in Tennessee into Georgia. It was so breathtaking - a cloudy day and rain made it a bit dark for pictures, but no less beautiful!
10/16/09 Oh Yeah, Truman is a happy boy!!! He NEVER sleeps on beds or furniture except with his best friend, Lisa!!!
10/15/09 Our friend Lisa and even Truman made it into this picture - Lisa is his new best friend and the next picture will tell you why!!
10/15/09 Welcome to Tennessee!!! We're on our way to Chattanooga to meet a friend!
10/145/09 Ok, not a great picture, not even good, but so very cute - he was the size of the ball of your thumb and shocking green!!
10/14/09 A bug with fins to swim! No time to look him up and with millions to choose from, this is it!!
10/14/09 He was hungry!!
10/14/09 A visitor to the pool while we took an evening dip!
10/14/09 Nope, didn't see any!
10/14/09 And the water - the Gulf was so warm, warmer than CT in September!! We were in heaven!!
10/14/09 A little closer look, the sand was like confectioners sugar!
10/14/09 Gulf Shore Beach - you know us and beaches - fabulous!!!! We will be back!
