Heading Home

 Mardi finished packing this morning, so we're ready to go.


We said our goodbyes to Maureen and Matt and we were on our way.  I don't know how many couples could spend a month together and still remain friends, but we've been pulling it off for many years.  Thanks, M & M!

The traffic in Florida was much heavier than I expected for a Friday, and our 4.5 hour trip took over 6 hours.  We had occasional showers in Florida, but in Georgia it turned into a full blown rain.


Nevertheless, we still had time for our hop-on-hop-off trolley tour.

The rain mostly prevented good photos, but I took this one of Florence, the Flag Lady.


Apparently, Florence met a sailor and fell in love.  He promised to return and she promised to wave a flag at every ship until she saw him.  She kept her promise, but poor Florence died of a broken heart 44 years later - he never returned.

Our trolley driver was Miss Denise.


She kept us entertained the whole trip and was a fountain of knowledge.  She also gives hugs.


We plan to return next year and take the tour in good weather when we can actually hop-on and hop-off and enjoy the sites that are pointed out.

We ate dinner at a Thai restaurant.  
Food was excellent.

Tomorrow we see my girls.  Looking forward to it!

Stay well.
