Day one of our trip
We left the house about 8 am; I could not seem to motivate myself to get out of the house. We dropped Curly off at the Vet. No need to be worried, when I left he was having his belly rubbed by one of the employees.
Can I say I DISLIKE my GPS. I rely on it more than I should. MapQuest and my phone said it would take 6 hours and the GPS says it would take 7.5. I followed the GPS but was not happy about it. About 5 hours into it I saw a sign that said Charleston/Bluefield. I know I should have taken it but I chose to follow the GPS. For some reason that thing made me go all the way to KY. Then we got stuck behind a accident on the top of a mountain in the sun for over 30 minutes. I think I burned my left arm. I wish I could have taken pictures. We saw some of the prettiest scenery. The kids just kept saying ooh and ahhhh. We did stop at a cool gas station. Because we decided there was no need to hurry.
When we got in town we had an hour to kill before picking up my mom so we drove around. I showed the kids one of my Elementary schools, my junior high and my high school. They thought it was the coolest thing ever. We picked up my mom. I wish I would have had my camera. They took off running towards her.
We stopped and got Gino’s for dinner. I ate my pizza sub slowly, enjoying the taste. AHHHHHHHHHH it was good. It is so funny what you remember from home. I remember the brick roads, I remember how they park, the big hill by my elementary school. I could not take pictures because it was raining but I promise to do it this week.
What are your favorite things about going home? Do you still live in the town you grew up in? I moved out when I was 17. I do not think I would want to live here again but it is fun to visit. I am hoping to have time to visit with friends but we are going out of town with my MIL on Tuesday and Wednesday and again on Friday and Saturday. On Monday we are taking the girls to get haircuts and pedicures. I am looking forward to it.
