We all had to work today, even mom and dad kept Sadie which is a full-time job! As always before a big trip, it's hard to focus on work knowing that in a few short hours we get a taste of freedom and a chance to feel what retirement might be like one day.
We assembled at mom and dad's house after work and had supper. Mom had barbeque left over from dad's 70th birthday party a few weeks ago and had it ready to go. We wolfed down a few bites and were ready to go. Like always, Sadie was too busy thinking about her next big adventure to worry about eating. We made her finish her grilled cheese before we would leave.
We had to wait for Jennifer (my sister) before we could leave. She had some last minute things to get ready so we didn't get gone from Lake Toxaway until 6:20. A stop at Jake's off of highway 11 to gas up ($2.39/gallon) and we were Atlanta bound.
Traffic wasn't bad and we were in and out of showers the entire way. We arrived at the Country Inn and Suites near the airport at around 9:30 and got checked in. After our baths, we said goodnight and hit the sack ready for our real adventure to start in the morning. We plan on getting up around 6:30 (yay, we get to sleep in!), breakfast, the shuttle to the airport.
Looking forward to whatever tomorrow holds!
