On the Road Again - GA



Thursday, April 16 - on the road in Georgia

We departed the resort in St. Lucie West yesterday noon and drove up to St. Augustine, where we spent the night. We parked at a Camping World store parking lot, which is located in the immediate vicinity of two Outlet Malls, so the girls had some time for shopping, while the boys napped.

After breakfast, we left St. Augustine and headed north on I-95 into Georgia. Although we had not planned to, we decided to stop in Pooler, GA, which is a suburb of Savannah, where we visited the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum, just off of the highway. We spent a couple of hours touring the museum and grounds before we headed out again. This is a museum which both Charlie and I had always wanted to see, since we pass it every time we come to Florida, or head home from Florida. Charlie, especially, is an "airplane museum" afficionado, and so he visits every aircraft museum he has an opportunity to visit. His knowledge of aircraft is phenominal, and I always learn so much from him on these visits. Be sure to check out the web album for all the photographs we took here. Lest I forget, both Kathys enjoyed the museum, as well.

Tomorrow morning we will again take to the road, destination Asheville, NC, where Kathy and I will visit the Biltmore Estate, since we have never been there before, and it is a "must see", so we have been told. Be sure to check the blog soon for photos of the "Biltmore".

It's late, and we have an early start tomorrow, so I'll sign off for today. Thanks for reading, and please let me know what you think of our travels as you follow along in the blog.
