March Adventures

I spent 17 days in March 2015 travelling with my brother an sister in law, which included a week with my other brother and sister in law..  It was a FANTASTIC  experience.  I can't really post every detail; but I kept a bit of a journal, and I will try to recapture some of the trip.
We  went from Raleigh to Savannah on the first day, and "camped" (like travelling in a luxury hotel!!) in a nice KOA.
We spent 4 days in the Savannah area.  The time there included an afternoon in Bonaventure Cemetary (including locating a family plot); a day on Tybee Island (more family history) at the lighthouse and Fort Scriven; and more time at Fort Pulaski.
We took a trolley tour of old Savannah ... even though it was an overcast, chilly, blustery day it was a wonderful tour.  The various tour guides were knowledgeable and fun.  We were able to get off and on as we chose, and it was all grand ... I do hope to go back again (and again and again) and do more of the sites.
Our last day was rainy, but it politely held off in time for us to revist a few places.
On Saturday we headed south.  We had lunch with a lovely young lady who was a great friend of our parents, and then on to Ocala.  We had about a day and a half with mama's cousin (our 2nd cousin I think?), including 2 dinners out at terrific restaurants.
We headed west on Monday, nad went as far as Pensacola.  On Tuesday we went to Biloxi (well, just out of) to the Jefferson Davis home.  It's a lovely place, and has been most wonderfully restored after devastation from Katrina.
And, I waded in the Gulf of Mexico.
That night we continued to a KOA just out of New Orleans.
On Wednesday we travelled over some of the worst roads I've ever experienced until we got to Texas.  We stopped at the Texas Visitor's Center .. super nice place.  By that evening we arrived at The Woodlands, where our younger brother and sister in law live.
We spent a week there, and I totally enjoyed that visit.  We went out a few times to see some of the sights of both The Woodlands and Houston.
I had a really great time.
On Wednesday, March 25th, in the evening (after a full day of more sightseeing and another great meal out) I flew back to Raleigh.

I've left out so very many details ... but every minute of the trip was a most fantastic trip-of-a-lifetime experience.  I hope in the future to get more chances to travel in the motorhome; and also to visit Texas more often.  But this first trip will always be special!

After arriving home, on Saturday I went to New Bern for a week.  I got to attend the high school honors band concert... my multi talented granddaughter is a member (flute and piccolo).  I also got to attend 2 soccer games in which my grandson was (in my opinion of course) a star player.

I will post some pictures from my trip in a separate post.
