HIGHWAY TRAVELERS

Here comes the Siesta.... It has room for all of us and a BIG Fridge.

VACATION TIME

8/04/04
Up and at 'em 5:00 am on the way again.
We are headed South, we plan to stop in Ohio to visit the Setzler's and then on to Georgia to visit Virginia and family.
Then to Florida to visit John and family. If we have time we are going to stop in South Carolina to see JoAnn and family.
10:45 am we made it to Setzler 's ranch. Raining and traffic was really bad.
 Saw a wreck on the on ramp going East. Luckily we were going West.
We had a nice visit with Daisy and Pim.  She made us "mom's kind of food" (Goulash)
Marge slept for a while. Daisy gave us some throw pillows for the Siesta and a big pillow for Olive.
Pillow for Olive from Daisy

Marge called Olive on her cell phone (she was in traffic entering Pittsburgh, Raining there too) and told her that we had a pillow for her from Daisy. She will be gone when we get back home but will catch up with her soon.

On our way again at 4:00 pm with their directions to I-75.  err, it took us 45 minutes to get to Attica, which is only a few miles. Yep they said turn right go to first stop sign and (Route 4) turn Left towards Attica.  I saw NO route 4 or sign for Attica.  Well just driving around we found the correct way and made it there.
Stopped for gas  $1.75.9 (man said they were raising it to $1.92 in the morning) We got 31 gal. 
Driving on we stopped in Findlay at the Extreme Lan Planet where Marge and Albe had their first bottle of BAWLS. 

BAWLS.... a fruity power drink.

Bawls is a power drink similar to Sprite remix or just imagine a Fruity Sprite. But a real taste all its own.


He found it on thinkgeek.com  and he searched for a store that sold it.  This place has the exclusive distribution of this drink in Findlay, Ohio.  Impressive.

6:50 pm Stopped at Rest Area. Ran the generator and used the Microwave to make some supper. Also played the TV but the only thing on was the president.  So got out the laptop and updated the website.
Resting for a while and we will be on the road again soon. Next stop?  Sugar Hill, Georgia.  (Unless we find some interesting side trip. 
8/5/04  Raining and not much to see or do. Stopped for gas in Kentucky and shopped in Wal-Mart for a while. We all got something on sale. 
9pm Here we are at Virginia and son Mike's house. 

Virginia's house in Georgia

 

The girls were happy to see Mary.  Angie's daughter talks with Albe on Instant Messenger.  

Virginia made us a wonderful supper of Spaghetti and Garlic Bread and salad. Marge couldn't wait to get online and get her email. update the website and then get some sleep. 
8/06/04 Beautiful day, visited and watched home movies of when everyone was younger. Their house is nice and comfortable. Mary played with Victoria and Alicia. Albe and Marge got on the computer and watched TV. Mike has to work tonight. Virginia talked to her daughter Angie and we decided to go over to their house.
So we all hopped in the camper  and drove 12 miles to her house. We had a really nice visit. Before we left we all gathered in the Siesta and Marge took a picture.

Chris, Victoria, Alicia, Mary, Angie, Chelsea, me and Albe.
