Hello from Beaufort, SC where we are hunkered down tonight. We left Lake James around 11 after our good bye hugs with the kids/kiddies and a nice day weather wise to travel. As soon as we got on I-95....ugh....major heavy traffic. We decided to take some 2-lane roads and avoid the masses heading south. Since we were delayed some, we didn't want to go all the way to our original destination (Fort Stewart, GA), so took a little detour to our favorite Beaufort.
We are staying at same hotel as in April, 2015 with Michael, Brooke, kids, Bob and Judy (Brooke's parents) and also where the Blue Angels stayed for air show.
Drove downtown and first 2 places we checked out for dinner were full till 9ish.....so ended up at Plum's which is always good and food was great.
It's cold here, but nothing like back in the Midwest and across so much of the country.
Last night we all went (Bob and Judy, too) to LaSalsa's in Morganton for some great Mexican. Then back to Michael's for euchre with Mark and I beating Annette and Brooke 2 games. The guys played monopoly with Brady, the winner!

These pretty flowers greeted us here at hotel when we checked in this afternoon.
We had a change of plans as we planned to fly to IL yesterday for my cousin's wedding (tomorrow) and also pick up our new pick-up. We switched plans after Philip got the flu and decided we didn't want to take back any germs, + the truck had not come in + the weather back there is
brutally cold and snowy.
So we are driving Toad to FL, will pick up Daisy, settle in at Water's Edge in Okeechobee and then Mark will fly back next week to get truck.
We had so much fun with our NC (and DC) kiddos (big and small)!!!
Another wonderful Christmas for the memory books!
