this morning i was up early with the kids..the 'kids' being colby and julie's--otherwise known as madison and cooper. it's hard to sleep when kids are afoot, but it worked out because i had errands to run. first stop was the advanced auto parts to return the unneeded thermostat. next was the saturn dealership to return the unneeded relay. they couldn't give me cash back so instead cut me a check. which meant the next stop was my new bank (after the paypal/ebay debacle, i switched to bank of america). that proved to be more difficult than expected, but success was ultimately found. when i pulled up to the drive through atm (the check scanners in the atm have completely won me over to b of a!) there were four cars in front of me. instead of panicking about my car overheating, i was content to wait my turn...absolutely fearless.
after the bank, i headed back home for a couple of hours before i decided it was time for lunch. which, of course, meant sonic:)
the afternoon was spent playing with the kids, and topped off with yet another of colby's delicious steak dinners, fresh of the grill.
no telling when i will see julie and colby again, so the goodbye was bittersweet. but the journey must continue.
got on the road about 6 and it was wide open. i realized somewhere along the way that with all of the traveling i've done over the years, this is the first trip i have ever taken alone. granted, i have traveled to a place solo before, but was always meeting someone on the other end. this is a first. the first of many firsts i hope:)
when i arrived in savannah, i called the folks to let them know, and dad regaled me with his journal entries from my last trip here. i had no recollection of being here, and i guess since i was 7, and the end of the journey was disney world, i suppose it's fairly understandable!
it's raining here, and i'm hoping it passes tonight so i can fully enjoy tomorrow!
