GOING HOME – DAY 1

Uncategorized 1 Minute

That’s enough todaying for today.

Easter Day. On the road at 3:57 am. Great start. Took the Foley Beach Express (toll road) for the first time. Well worth the $5.

First stop—-BUC-EE’S

Still dark
Wow
Me and my friend

Then driving. And driving. And driving. Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia. With it being Easter we thought the traffic would be less. Not at all. A lot of traffic.

We do make sure to stop every 2 1/2 – 3 hours for a rest stop, a drink, a snack, and a walk. Helps.

Some sights along the way. Didn’t stop. Just saw from the car.

One of the biggest Liberty statues in the world. Next to the Boy Scouts HQ.

All along the highway. Beautiful.

Thought this was a cute billboard.

Then an hour away from our night’s destination. This.

An hour and a half of crawling to get maybe three miles. Ugh. Although this was due to an accident (hope all were ok) it somehow made me think of a convoy.

Finally at Lexington, Virginia. In for the night. Didn’t even eat out. Accommodations? I can’t even go there. Ahhhh. Not even a coffee maker or cups. It’s true. You get what you pay for. Thank goodness we travel with an electric kettle. Made tea and used my travel mug (thanks Lynn). We had protein bars and shared an apple.

Exhausted. Going to bed.

With retirement comes the opportunity for new experiences. Debi has a passion for music, singing, theatre, and travel. With her BMEd and MEd she had an extensive career which included elementary music education, performing, vocal instruction, choral conducting, musical theatre directing, and clinician work. She has, for the most part, retired from this very successful music career. But really, does one ever retire from music? I think not. So now the stage is set for the next act: interweaving her love for music, travel, and whatever else comes her way. Wherever her travels take her Debi shares her exploits: musical adventures, local interests, historical sites, local cuisine, the journey there and back, plus whatever life sends her. She'll share the hits and the misses, the successes and the failures, as well as any helpful hints she discovers along the way.
