Wednesday - November 4

4th straight day of rain......Mark took Drew to school and we said our goodbyes to Brooke and rest of the clan.   Davis woke up with a bad sore throat and very croupy cough.    Drew has had a sore throat for past few days but nothing to slow him down.    We left at 8:30 and stopped in Shelby, NC at Hannah's Coffee House - what a cute spot and I got my latte (Autumn Harvest) fix.   We were in Shelby earlier this year and it is such a charming town.
 
Good day of travel despite the weather (drizzle off and on; and occasionally, the heavens really opened up, but fortunately that didn't last long).   Did see pretty fall color in North and South Carolina.   We stopped in Newnan, GA for lunch at Zaxby's.    Philip and Annette's friends live here.    They got engaged on Catrina and now have 3 little tots!
 
I drove for a while and around 2:20 in Alabama, the sun came out!   What a treat and lasted for rest of the trip.    We were ready for a break and decided to stop in Greenville, Alabama for the night.    Got settled and then walked (around 4 blocks) to Wal Mart for a few things - felt good to stretch the legs and enjoy the 82-degree temp.
 
Brooke had texted that Davis tested positive for strep throat.    She called later and said this is his very first time to get strep, but this particular strain is a new one and very serious.    It is running rampant there.   Brooke told us if we have any symptoms to go to the doctor ASAP.   Davis doesn't have a fever but is extremely tired.
 
Did face time with Anne, Liam and Connor...

Just 120 miles to Pensacola and Ryan and big weekend coming up!
