Nov.
Since we hadn't been to Atlanta we stayed there at the Elks and went to Coca-Cola and CNN.There was lots to do in Atlanta but we were anxious to get to Charleston, S.C., one of our favorite cities.We've been to Charleston several times but this time we did a free walking tour and learned a little bit more about this great town.Of course we went to the straw market and saw many sweetgrass being made.Also couldn't leave without having some of that good ole southern cooking.The next stop was another favorite place of ours Savvanah.We did a free walking tour here as well and learned a little more history.We stayed in Hardeville and met up with other skps where we had a few happy hours together and a night out for dinner.Those camped here were DelRosario, Lonnie Hodge and Becky Hazen, Stephenson and a few others.We said our goodbys and down the road we went.Our next stop was Florida and we ended up at Ft McCoy for Thanksgiving with the Boomers.I think there was about 20 rigs and the Indians had their Pow Wow.We had a great time with old and new friends.
DEC.
It seemed like Dec. went fast .We went St. Augustine, spent tine in Orlando, visited friends in West Palm Beach, took a short 4 night cruise to the Bahamas, spent sometime in Punta Gorda.We took in the Edison-Ford Mansion, went to a flea market, and ate at Fisherman's Wharf.We spent a quiet New Year's at Tousand Trails in Wachula.That's our year in a nutshell.Wishing you the best life has to offer in the new year.
