FINALLY REACHED THE EAST COAST!

We left Alabama this morning and headed into Georgia. Santa thought that we had left in plenty of time to miss the traffic around Atlanta. We took the outer loop to avoid downtown, but there was still quite a bit of traffic. I must admit that Dad did a great job maneuvering this big monster. In fact we expect much more traffic now that we are heading into the east coast.

Even though, Mom does not admit it, I don’t think she likes traveling in this coach any more than I do. However, the weather has continued to be sunny and fairly warm. But we suspect that North Carolina will be much cooler.

We are finally nearing the end of the I20. We took this route almost from beginning to end. We picked it up in Texas and have been on this for the last 5 days. Actually, it has been a rather nice route, but we finally had to leave it to pick up I85 to go north into South Carolina.

I don’t enjoy the long travel days as I can’t really relax and sleep like I am used to doing. However, we all liked the Welcome Center in South Carolina. We stopped for lunch there and it was situated alongside the river. It was so beautiful we decided to eat outside so we could really enjoy the scenery. I finally got a chance to run around and dip my paw in the river. I SO hated to leave and get in the shake, rattle and roll bus again!

Anyway, we headed toward High Point, NC to see a couple more of Santa’s friends. They took us to a really nice park where were able to park in front of a small lake. It is a bit cooler, but great for me. There is plenty of space to run and tomorrow we get to stay put. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
