Back In South Carolina

Last Thursday we arrived back in South Carolina. Our friends, John and Janet, along with their puppy Holly, also arrived here with us. Holly and I are good friends but she does not like Lenny. He is big and intimidates her.

Saturday Mom and Dad were happy as they went to lunch with granddaughter Kennedy Rae, AKA Peanut. Kennedy is growing like a weed and is such a happy, friendly baby. She is a real cutie!

Monday, Mom and Dad went with John and Janet to the Babyland Hospital in Cleveland, GA. Babyland is the birthplace of all Cabbage Patch dolls. You can see, from the picture, all the dolls growing out of the cabbage patch. After touring Babyland, they went to the Alpine community of Helen, GA and had lunch and did some window shopping walking through the town. We had to say goodbye to John, Janet and Holly yesterday as they left for Florida. It was great seeing them again.

Is everyone ready for Halloween?

Finished In Virginia

We have finished our two week stay at Lake Gaston in Virginia. Dad went through withdrawal there without cell phone service or Internet service for the two weeks. We were disappointed with the Lake Gaston Resort Park. Mom and Dad had heard so many good things about the park but it wasn't so great. The roads were very narrow and the sites were very short. The park had a bowling alley but it would cost $13.00 for two people to bowl one game. Mom and Dad didn't do any bowling.

Mom and Dad did take us on the road trip they promised. One day we traveled to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We visited the site on Kill Devil Hills where the Wright Brothers had their first flights with their plane, the Kitty Hawk. We also visited Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Roanoke Island. Roanoke Island is the site of Fort Raleigh and is where the Lost Colony had originally settled in 1585. We also got a lunch at Taco Bell which was quite different from our usual Happy Meals.

Tomorrow we arrive back in South Carolina so Mom and Dad can spend some more time with their granddaughter Peanut. They are real excited about that.
