Driving Driving

Our journey to Hilton Head involved a lot of driving!  It was 950+ miles down and 950+ miles back home again.  Going down, on the second day, we encountered heavy heavy rains, deluge, hour after hour.  On the way back, the second day was rain, sleet, wintry mix, and snow.  Thankfully,  we did ten hours on the first day, which brought beautiful blue skies, warm and sunny weather.  The six hours of day two were constantly tense, due to slippery conditions, poor visibility, and no let up.

 A change of scenery is a good thing.  Going other places and seeing new sights is a welcome change.   And it is always good to get home.

The best part of being down south was that it was definitely springtime there;  daffodils were past their prime,  Trees and shrubs, lawns were beginning to turn green, and put out buds and blossoms.   We enjoyed walking on the beach, playing tennis outside,  taking pictures, exploring, etc.  












I have more to share, but it is late, and I am tired, so goodnight blog.
