June 25th Cooper recovering, hope so, anyway!

Got these on Cooper's burns, still look awful!

June 17th In town in Greenwood

Went on up to Hodges area early on in the day to visit with our dear pals Bev and Dave, they are both very well-

Got a bit of a scare when Coop revealed at 330 that he had spilled a boiling pot on his hand and arm-  we spirited him off to emergency care docs, and he will be ok it seems.

Mostly second degree burns, with a bit of blistering as well- should recover 100%

Dalton and Alyssia are due down in a short bit, they will be down for the weekend- 

Bette has decided we will be leaving a day early towards Maine, meaning we are leaving in the morning-  may not get to see the Ritz's.  Tomorrow's leg is to Harrisonburg, VA. 

No new plates today- but a long interstate drive tomorrow.  Just need Alaska and Hawaii to be complete, and several Canadian provinces as well. 

June 16th Around Greenwood

Slept in for a bit, then unpacked some more-  got pretty much caught up-

Met Tina and Brandon at McAllisters for lunch, then over to town stopped at Big Lots and Hobby Lobby for some trip stuff.

Saw three plates today:

June 15th Trip summary

13 days, about 3200 miles, 7 major league and 1 minor league games, 4 new National Parks, and a well toured Chicago visit, we close the chapter for the grandson trip.  Would do it all again!

June 15th End of the trip, and 702 miles home!

Boys announced that they were ready to get home, so off at 0545 and out!

702 miles and about 12 hours later, we got back to Saddle Hill, got unpacked, and got caught up.

First and only stop today was Park # 297, Cumberland Gap NHP. 

 

 

 

Proud of Brandon, while he was driving at turnpike speeds, an older fellow from Ga. veered into our lane, cutting him off.  He avoided him and handled it very well!

 

He and I split the driving today. 

 

Will now rest and relax, planning on heading off to Maine on June 20th.  May run over to Newberry on Sat. 

 

These plates on the way home:

 

 

 





June 1st First day of trip!

Did an uneventful, safe trip of 364 miles, left St Augustine at 905, and pulled into Saddle Hill at 4 pm.  Usual routing through Statesboro. 

Stopped on I-16 for a quick fuel stop put in 30 gallons, at 2.299 a gal, its $1.99 here in town.

Gathered up the boys for a quick trip to Migs for dinner, then a quick stop at Wal Mart to pick up some provisions, now home for a while, then sleep, then up and out by 7am in the morning.

Brandon and Cooper surprised me with a request for tickets for a Team USA soccer match in Chicago- may be expensive, but we will try to get there. 

Tomorrow's plans are a 365 mile trip, first to Princeton WVA for a Coal Heritage stop, then another stop in Beckley WVA, then on to our motel for the night, a Days Inn in Mt Hope WVA.
